In this episode, we discuss the Mavs' weekend in Dallas which saw then win Game 3 in convincing fashion and then lose Game 4, in a very similar fashion as Game 1, where the Clippers raced out to a 30-point lead despite playing without Kawhi Leonard. The Mavs made a furious comeback, but often as it happens with 30-point rallies, the comeback fell just short. We discuss what went wrong in Game 4, and what the Mavs can do in Game 5 to come out looking more prepared. We also talk about what they have done right in this series, and emphasize that they need to translate their 2nd half brilliance to the 1st half of games as well. Finally we discuss our concern level surrounding Luka Doncic's struggles and nagging injuries.

Game 5 is Wednesday May 1 at 9 PM Central Time in Los Angeles.
