As the Dallas Mavericks attempt to get a firm grip on this best-of-seven first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers, coach Jason Kidd wanted to make one thing perfectly clear about the team from Southern California.
“This is a veteran ball club,” Kidd said, referring to the Clippers. “They’ve been in every situation, so there’s nothing for us to celebrate.”
Tipoff for Game 4 is Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at American Airlines Center, and the Mavs lead the series, 2-1. But Kidd want to remind everyone to temper their celebrations, and that a series is only won when one team wins four games, not two games.
