Threes gotta fall, but this is the series about the midrange. Ayton dominates inside and they have some killer perimeter defenders. They're top five in the league at both interior defense and three point defense
They're a bottom 5 team at mid-range defense. Brunson can live there. Luka has shown flashes of the mid-range (although he's been cold from midrange since Feb). Dinwiddie is okay from 5-10'
Mavs have to make them make adjustments by hitting mid-range jumpers.
