I don't understand why the Mavs don't take advantage of the KP mismatch in the post. Always on the perimeter.

The Mavs more-or-less screwed themselves out of anything but the 7-seed and a matchup with the Clippers in the 1st round with this loss. I mean it's still possible for them to catch 6th place, but now they're 4 back of the Thunder and 4.5 back of the Rockets. And they had a 7-point lead with 45 seconds remaining in regulation, too.

Luka didn't play a great game but he'll learn from it.

Despite how polished Lukas game is coming to the league, he still has a lot of growth left.

Mavs saving up for the playoff. All these chokes during the season will result in a string of clutch performances in the playoff.

Wow Mavs get outscored 43 to 27 over OT and the 4th, talk about a massive choke here.

Yeah, most important RS game of the restart and they choke as usual. We should be used to it, but we kind of forgot that they always find new ways of losing games...

I can't remember the last time Luka was good in this game...

It's just so incredibly frustrating.

Raptors took our soul. Mavs never recovered from the 4th quarter meltdown earlier in the season. Clutch PTSD is real.
