The Mavs have to get smarter at the end of quarters. At the end of the 2nd quarter, Darren Collison steals the ball (great play) but then decides to charge right into Kevin Martin instead of holding for the last shot. Westbrook hits a basket at the other end to make them pay.
End of the 3rd quarter Mayo goes 1 on 3 JJB style and misses an impossible layup. Durant hits a 3 pointer at the other end. These 2 sequences cost the mavs AT LEAST 5 points and potentially 9 points if they hit the shots at the end of the quarter.
