How Game 1 was a showcase of the Warriors’ multifaceted defensive game plan

The most eye-popping defensive possession of Game 1 between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks was probably this one to end the 1st quarter.

It’s no secret that the Mavericks like to hunt for favorable matchups. Luka Donu010diu0107 is a master at getting whatever mismatches he wants. The secondary ball handlers and shot creators surrounding him — Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie — are also keen on hunting for the matchups they want to isolate against.

Dinwiddie — guarded by Draymond Green in this particular instance — tries to hunt for Kevon Looney.
