Just watched Jazz-Mavs. 3 things.
1. NO TIMEOUT!!!!
2. The timing of Gobert’s drag screen on that last play was perfect. Also, the lift by Jordan Clarkson to occupy Bullock.
3. Biggest play of the game was Maxi’s sixth foul at the 4:19 mark. Dallas couldn’t play 5 out after that – 12:24 AM

Donovan, on the key to the defense on the final play: “Make somebody else shoot. … Dinwiddie’s hit like 3 of those in the regular season, so when he shot it, I was a little nervous. But it’s hard to shoot over Rudy Gobert.” – 8:36 PM

Both teams played great at times. Both teams were bad at times. Mavs made 4 mistakes in the last 1:00 Doncic foul on Mitchell. The 2 Powell missed FTs. Allowing Mitchell penetration for Gobert dunk. And then too deliberate on the last possession to lead to a less than ideal shot – 7:52 PM

Snyder coached a fantastic last 40 seconds. Timeout, ATO to get Mitchell open on the hammer screen. Then early trap on Luka to make him give it up. And finally no timeout, bring it full and quick slip to Gobert which was open all night. – 7:20 PM

I loved Dallas on that play at 92-93 getting the Gobert switch onto Luka, then using it not for Luka to attack, but to swing it to Brunson with Gobert away from the rim. Really sharp, simple play. – 7:12 PM

I know Kleber has been hot from three but Powell is a better closing matchup vs Utah. Dallas needs that physical presence vs Gobert – 7:09 PM

Mavs up 92-91, but Gobert goes to the line for 2 with 3:12 left.
Are Mavs going to go primarily through Luka or Brunson? Jazz have done a better job defending Luka, I think, but he’s just made some really tough shots. I might start with Brunson early in possessions, Luka late. – 6:59 PM
![](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1658131473/sefko_normal.png)
As long as the Mavs have fouls available, that’s the way to treat Gobert. Make him make the 15-footers. Mavericks lead 92-91 as Rudy heads to the strip again. – 6:59 PM
![](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1490457329086517248/g-0J7T8e_normal.jpg)
I am assuming part of the reason why they want Gobert involved as the screen defender bc with him guarding DP he’ll just sag into the paint and play free safety. I guess thats the reasoning> – 6:59 PM

Think there was enough contact to the shoulder/head of Doncic to sustain this foul call. But I prefer the strategy from Gobert of forcing him to drive on that calf rather than concede the stepback. – 6:52 PM

Jazz have a 24-23 lead after 1Q over Dallas.
Some of their best defense of the series. Bogdanovic, especially, was impressive. Donovan Mitchell has 12 points on 4-7 shooting. – 5:08 PM

Technical foul on Rudy Gobert after a big block on Dwight Powell. That’s usually Luka Doncic’s cue to step up his vocals lol – 5:06 PM

Kane Fitzgerald calls the technical on Gobert and the foul call on Gobert… believe the technical was for the point to the bench. – 5:06 PM

Jazz get the open Bojan corner 3 as 2 went to Gobert, one of them Doncic. O’Neale got an open one off Gobert roll. Rare they’ve gotten any spotups, see if that changes with Luka out there – 4:41 PM

“Metaphoric on some level,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. “It feels good. I ain’t going to lie to you.” Mitchell also acknowledged the symbolism of the play. “It feels good, because it’s just like, man, you hear it,” Mitchell said. “I don’t think him and I sit here think there’s anything, but we hear it. It’s good to see that and be able to go out there and do it on a stage like that, but ultimately, those same plays we made throughout the entire game. -via ESPN / April 24, 2022 Eric Walden: Donovan Mitchell, on if meant a little more to throw the winning pass to Rudy Gobert: “I think it’s funny, man. But it felt good, because you hear . … We trust each other.” -via Twitter @tribjazz / April 23, 2022 Eddie Sefko: Donovan Mitchell on Rudy Gobert being a finalist for DPOY: “Are you surprised?
