Just played the Mavs and had a great game. I realized that if you aren't playing great D it's hard to win games. I had to step my defense up to win this game and it really paid off, i kept the Mavs at only 80 points total. I was really surprised by how i shut down the Mavs offense, especially in the 3rd qtr. This game showed me a lot about these settings and what we as players have to do to get the W against good teams. I also didn't commit too many fouls, so they had less time at the line to get easy points. I am about to play a weaker team to see how the game compares.
