I think to add to why teams are aggressive is that the Mavs have been poor in tempo and transition. They weren't afraid of a counter until Kyrie showed up to improve that somewhat. Now the Mavs have to figure out the rebounding equation and it will all even out. Just not sure that's possible with such little remaining in the season and no way to improve the roster now.
