First and foremost, they go out and play Game 4. They need to go out and play loosely and aggressively to show themselves and the league that they belong there. I think for most of the portion of the last 3 games the Mavs were both entirely too timid and out of gas. Because this is indeed new territory for every player on that roster.
They should absolutely give a kitchen sink effort in Game 4 and play to win. Because who knows... maybe Steph sprains an ankle in Game 4, Green gets suspended, etc. Never say never!
