In an ironic twist, the Warriors managed to defeat the Mavericks with the exact opposite of the three-point revolution they started nearly a decade prior - dominance in the paint. 'That's something that we have to get better at this time of the year.' 'We play defense when we play offense, and we play no defense when we can't score,' Kidd said.

Kidd continued to hammer on his teamвЂ™s performance, saying the Mavericks play defense when they play offense, but donвЂ™t play defense when the shots arenвЂ™t falling. 'And we died in the third quarter by shooting that many 3s and coming up with only two.' 'When you go 2-for-13 and you rely on the 3, you can die by the 3,' Kidd said after Game 2. He didnвЂ™t hold back following DallasвЂ™ similar decision to overly rely on the three-ball in Game 2. Head coach Jason Kidd voiced his displeasure regarding the MavericksвЂ™ shot selection following their Game 1 loss. The Mavericks have yet to show they can do that. While the Warriors werenвЂ™t much better (1o-of-29 from beyond the arc, 34.4%), they showed the ability to adjust when the shots were not falling. Game 2 followed a troubling performance by the Mavericks in Game 1 in which they made just 11-of-48 (22.9%) three-point attempts.
