Even when they take the open shots, they seem incapable of bearing down and making baskets. And this is what the Mavs are supposed to do well. At the start of the fourth Luka takes a break, and they miss an open foul line jumper, an open 3, and Brunson even missed a layup. And then Luka comes back in immediately. He himself missed a few in the 4th, but it's because apparently no one else is a threat to score even when they're wide open, so he has to put up some iffy shots.
That said, they have really stepped it up on the defensive end, and made the free throws when it mattered most, so they go home up 3-2.
Luka's so great to watch though. It's remarkable how obviously he's been the best player in the series given the star power on the other side. In 4 of the 5 games it hasn't even been close.
