The Mavericks are unlikely to play better in the second game of the series. The away game is a weakness for them. In their last seven road games, the Dallas Mavs have managed only two wins. By some miracle, they defeated the Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz. In the other encounters, as a rule, Kidd’s team lost by a wide margin. It’s very likely that nothing will change significantly.
The Golden State Warriors are good at defending. They are particularly good at doing that at home. In the last three games on the court, for example, they haven’t conceded more than 98 points. This meeting is unlikely to be an exception.
In 3 of their last 5 games, the Warriors have scored more than 110.5 points.

The Mavericks are a team of one player. The Mavs scored 87 points in the game – 1/4 of them coming from Luka Doncic. Luka Doncic scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
In the previous game, the Dallas Maverick had no accurate shots at all. The Mavericks made only 52.6% of their two-point shots and 22.9% of their three-pointers. Of course, with that kind of execution, it’s hard to expect success. Not surprisingly, Jason Kidd’s team was defeated.
The Dallas Mavericks are the NBA quarterfinal discovery. The Texans knocked out the vice-champion of 2021 and winner of the West (4-3).
On their way to the Western Conference finals, the Mavericks also beat the Utah Jazz (4-2).
