[@Javier-bs9nr]

as a mavs fan we played the low lakers 😂 i need luka to get better but glad the bench got minutes

[@Taurux_2]

Those 3s by klay gave us the lead and we never lost it🫡🤯 Hope he can be this efficient every game Grimes better get paid Spencer plays better when he doesn’t hold the ball until 3 seconds left and forces shots That was a good game from him🔥

[@Blasian-Couple]

Yeah if they pass the ball to him consistently why not

[@cosaosa2855]

It also helps that LA was scoreless for almost the last 5 min of the game.

[@my_other_side473]

Sometimes his teammates hog the ball too much, specially Dinwiddie. He's just starting to warm up if they pass him the ball, he might erupted into a 30+ PTS game and 7 threes.

[@fishtuationaqua]

If his team mate doesn't hog the ball. I've been noticing this since several games now. Luka was the one finally understands Klay's body movement on the match against GSW.

[@deeburns1227]

Being a back to back I was impressed with the energy they came out with!!! I think having Kyrie there for support helped too! Great game mavs!

[@marioalvarado3773]

Why he didnt play?

Hardy & Grimes played great this game. If they played consistently like this, Mavs will be in the finals again.

[@MAVSMANE]

WHAT A GAME!!! I LOVE YOU DALLAS MAVS

[@dadballers]

Finally! so glad to see a win ... will give the guys a confidence boost , good job

[@swish4realbasketball]

A much needed win!!!!

[@my_other_side473]

Klay 9 pts run, 3/3 in a row gave us the lead, and to seal this game.

[@spooky-mulder]

Spencer Dinwiddie is the engine of these Mavs. Attacking and scoring, ending the first half with a bang. Then drawing defenders driving and dishing. Naji's only perimeter shot was thanks to Dinwiddie's driving and kick out. Then three straight assists to Hardy, others. And he is crafty as he can get to the FT line as good as anybody. When he is given the ball in his hands, he creates not only for himself, but others. When Spence is attacking, it opens it up for everyone. They need to keep Dinwiddie for years!

[@deeburns1227]

He did great!!!

[@xelazenova]

Without Luka and Kyrie he is the only reliable point guard in the Mavs roster. No real back up when he is sub out.

[@Deeyomi]

More like a ball hogger.. will do well in a 1v1 game

[@fringe_minority]

That's hilarious considering Mavs fans wanted him traded after few games in the season

[@spooky-mulder]

Most fans are not objective and instead have a very short memory. Watch Dinwiddie play when his usage is anywhere near his 2022-2023 stint and he is very dynamic drawing fouls, hitting tough shots and driving hard to get his teammates wide open/clean looks. That's impact. Maybe Mavs fans and podcast voices don't like his name or something, who knows. He's a smart baller. Hope the front office extends him for years (as they did for Dorian Finney Smith and Maxi twice, heck even gave Dirk's dollars to fricking chandler parsons who didn't made an impact nor did he ever average 17ppg nor elevated teammates)

[@seangifucan7009]

I like Grimes playing. He's so smart.

[@SummitSprint]

Spencer stepped up very well as coordinator.

[@kyledacon2515]

Pretty amazing sequence by Grimes at 7:03 locking up AD who throws a fit and then drill a 3 up against him

[@titustsou8953]

Hi, Mavs fan from Taiwan, congrats to Mavs and we shows how tough we could be. Everyone shows their talent and win this match. Here is the opinions to share: 🏀Defense: 1. The POCKET DEFENSE is successfully used, you will see that when Lively and Kleber root in paint, how difficult that AD and James score in the paint. 2. The SWITCH DEFENSE also doing great, even James & AD play P&R, the timing of double team to James is properly and AD also cannot close to rim , the double team to AD also doing great. 3. Although Lively still have some play was be switched out far from the rim, and also have foul trouble, but he did great job to cover big defense range, I think if he could be better when he gained more experience. 4. Kleber did great job on double team to AD and James, he root in paint area and always check up when AD or James drives and help the defense. 🏀Offense 1. Nice team basketball with Mavs style, you can see the difference P&R and screens, and most importantly that we play ISO more efficiently. The miss match opportunity like PJ against Reaves and Grimes against AD. 2. Both Lively and Kleber did high quality screen for teammates, especially Kleber, he did seal screen for dribblers, and if you watch the game in detail, Hardy party was open with Kleber’s screen, fake cut and screen for Hardy to make open 3PTS, especially he saw that Lakers play zone defense he cut from the middle of two defenders then break to do the screen. 3. Lively on pinch post to the do high quality screen and he can pass well, and when miss match happens, he try to score without hesitation. He also did great job in offense side. 4. Glad to see that P&R and cut back door that Grimes, Klay and Hardy cut in and scored. 5. Not only #1 #5 do the P&R, the P&R with different combinations and here also have many off ball screen like Naji, Klay and Kleber, they create more space that everyone can pass safer and find the open opportunities. 6. Here also have many inside-out play, especially Dinwiddie and Grimes, they both handle ball well, cut in and pass out to find the open teammates. 7. Only one thing that we need to notice in this game is when we doing one times inside-out or P&R, even get offense rebounds, sometimes we can play more patient then reorganize, seeking for good shots opportunities. 🏀I think it is meaningful win to us, especially with system adjustments we could see that we can also play well. Even Luka and Kyrie need to rest, but if we build up the system like this, when Luka and Kyrie back, they don’t need to spend more time to fit in, because we still playing P&R but just let players run the cut and do more off ball screen, and defense is same system. Hope that Luka, Kyrie, Gafford and Exum get enough rest and totally recover from injury, everyone stay healthy and go further. Let’s go Mavs💪💪🙏🙏

[@adm_lzz]

The one good thing about the mavs bad luck is that our good players are getting better fast

[@jingan97]

love to see cheerleader Powell, lol hes always the first to celebrate when his teammate score.

[@chuchotheace3126]

When you watch every game( or the highlights of a team) you realize how little the top broadcasters know about teams. I used to always notice it with the raptors, but it feels obvious they don’t watch film. The nfl broadcasters, especially the ex player, feels like they know everything about the league and watch all the film.

[@weimouteradisson2340]

What an incredible bluetooth ankle breaker by LeBron at 2:44. Truly a player of all times.

[@dk6173]

Great team win!

[@jamescreekmore5989]

When i played, even street ball growing up, we always called guys out for flailing flying elbows. Now its like the only way guys can get clear for a shot is to hit the defender with an elbow. We also didnt always have a hand on the person with the ball as a means to increase our defensive result. The game was played with a high level of effort to never make contact with the opponent, but only contact the ball.

[@abdulazizbabana2424]

9:40 with all that crowd Kyrie didn't care 😂😂😂😂

[@audymingoa6149]

awesome defense by the Mavs with their offense balance scoring with Dinwinde showing his former team playing agresively

[@shawwalmuhammad]

Team win! Keep it up!

[@allaz.9071]

Love you MAVS!🔥 Waiting for Luka💙& Kyrie.

[@JCNvid]

no luka, no irving, no gaff. Thats a big win.

[@Dylannnnnio]

This proves Spencer can carry a team 💯 vintage Brooklyn

[@fishtuationaqua]

Nah, 1 out of 10 games. He needs to get more team mates involve than just hogging the ball. He made that dunk because James was chasing Klay not to make another 3 points.

[@fishtuationaqua]

Keep feeding Klay when he's hot on 3s. His 3/3 were valuable to this match catching up on scores. Great hassle by Grimes! Jason Kidd coach better this time than Memphis match.

[@CesarPena-k3c]

The defensive effort from the Lakers was “epic” throughout this game. The highlight of the game was Sir Charles roasting their pathetic performance. 😅😅😅

[@dougmaclennan8654]

LeBron really, really, hustles on D. Closing out on shooters. Boxing out. Helping out on D. He works so hard. This video shows it that he hasn't lost a thing. Sometimes he gets caught during play complaining about his teammates while his man cuts backdoor for a dunk, but other than that he is incredible.

[@worldcupcup-l2h]

Sarcasm to the finest. He is not playing any defense anymore and it's kind of ridiculous how only he can get away with this. This highlight video has like 3 errors on help defense he is purely responsible off and he just raises his hands like it's someone else false fault.

[@deathitself6985]

​@@worldcupcup-l2h Luka has his moments too and he isnt 40yo who brought a championship to the organization. Granted its become more rare Alot of people made excuses when i brought it up in a similar conversation about LeBron doing that

[@RedsPaul]

LeBron is 40 years old and unfortunately what you are saying is absolutely not true on defense he is still he does not move his feet or hands and has difficulty raising his arms above his shoulders. Great honor to a great player but today this is the reality. I am Italian you will excuse me for the bad English writing.

[@AnilAlbo]

I am a LeBron Fan, and i know RS Defense is Not like Playoffs D….but the Defense of him in this Game was pathtetic.

[@worldcupcup-l2h]

@@deathitself6985 I just wanted to call out the first commentator @dougmaclennan8654 for his wild statement. But based on your comment if you are 40 yo and have bought championship makes a case that you get a pass on playing defense?

Finally dallas cut their losing streak

[@pgeo999]

Quentin Grimes for THJ alongside a trade exception that converted into Naji Marshall is a freaking masterpiece by Nico! Give that man his flowers. This team is deep! I hope the Mavs will get more wins during their spell without Kai and Luka. PS: Spencer Dinwiddie is the best player in the NBA on a vet minimum.

[@naivet]

I've been liking Grimes a lot this season

[@douglaswilliams1081]

Hold up, wasn't that the Mavs second string? PJ and Spencer are some low key superstars.

[@uroszugelj]

Two steals at the end really helped 2. Lakers lost hope at that moment.

[@kmckay8733]

The truth is Dallas won’t have the same team chemistry when Luka and Kyrie come back. Dallas look like they set in stone

[@andreas_kuenster]

That was just great team basketball by the Mavs. They figuring something out, that will be very important for the rest of the season when Ky and Luka are back again. Also they trusted the process. The ability that they know that everyone can basically score and contribute. Also they were running the same stuff that was working on and on again.

[@HectorSrTan]

Kerr should learn a lesson or two from Jason Kidd that it’s not always Curry and Green formula to win a basketball game.

[@Anayaaaaa1517]

The Mavs have to pay Grimes more. He deserves it.

[@deathitself6985]

Its possible Mavs will lose him especially if he performs in a similar way in the playoffs. I bet alot of teams will offer him shit that the Mavs cant match hopefully not

[@andreas_kuenster]

it's important to get some wins till the starters are back, also Gafford out right now. They have to win to stay connected to the top spots. the loss against the Blazers was just plain stupid. The match against the Grizzlies was closer than the result. The West is just unforgiving. You can drop so quick thank god there are enough games left.
