Mavs Film Room Reunion Lights Media

In this episode, we discuss the Mavs' weekend in Dallas which saw then win Game 3 in convincing fashion and then lose Game 4, in a very similar fashion as Game 1, where the Clippers raced out to a 30-point lead despite playing without Kawhi Leonard. The Mavs made a furious comeback, but often as it happens with 30-point rallies, the comeback fell just short. We discuss what went wrong in Game 4, and what the Mavs can do in Game 5 to come out looking more prepared. We also talk about what they have done right in this series, and emphasize that they need to translate their 2nd half brilliance to the 1st half of games as well. Finally we discuss our concern level surrounding Luka Doncic's struggles and nagging injuries.



Game 5 is Wednesday May 1 at 9 PM Central Time in Los Angeles.

In this episode we discuss the 125-107 blowout win over the Houston Rockets, who came into the game on a NBA-best 11-game win streak. This was the Mavs' 11th win in the last 12 games, which capped an 11-4 month of March for the team. We discuss the two huge wins the Mavs got in Sacramento last week to move out of the play-in and into the top-6 of the Western Conference, and why those games showed the Mavs are one of the most formidable teams in the Western Conference Playoff field. With 8 games to go in the regular season, the Mavs now sit at 5th in the West and now have earned the title of the hottest team in the NBA.
