The Mavericks most recent game against the Lakers went exactly how we predicted. Darwin Ham tried to win the game at less than full throttle. The Mavs offense was clicking early and often but the defense almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. AD and Bron went under on their point totals(u2705) while the Mavs covered the 1Q spread(u2705).
As far as tonight, expect a shootout. The Mavs defense could be exactly what the doctor ordered for a Clipper offense that has struggled to gel since its acquisition of James Harden. Defensively, the Clippers no longer strike fear into the hearts of opposing offenses.
