That was some high energy by Kidd. The big offensive rebound and quick pass to Terry for 3, then the steal at the other end and the behind the back pass to Barea on the fast break. Very cool. That ratcheted up the intensity to an incredible level. Just prior to that Dallas was trying, but Barea was getting abused, and the Mavs kept getting pushed back to a double digit deficit, and I was thinking about the "can't win 'em all" postgame thread I'd be reading.

After that, Bibby and Kidd traded threes, and on that wave of intensity, Kidd found a way to punk Woodsen and the Hawks just choked.
