SAN FRANCISCO – They call this the Bay Area.
As opposed to the Nay Area, which might be what they start calling the paint during Mavericks’ games.
They couldn’t attack it on offense Friday night, and they couldn’t defend it on defense.
In a game 2 that was there for the taking for the longest time, the Mavericks got a little too comfortable with their 3-point shooting and, while it was good for much of the night, they forgot about what’s gotten them this far.
They didn’t attack the paint.
And even with their shooting improved over Game 1, their 30 points in the paint were a ridiculously low total.
