Mavericks vs Lakers 5/4/11 Game 2 ADS

If I had to describe the Mavericks play from last nights game in one word, I would say strong. Dallas had an answer for whatever little push the Lakers tried to make. Lakers defense for all intents and purposes was non-existent last night, as Dallas was able to have their way in the offensive zone. And as Kobe remains silent in this series Artest decided to make some noise when a cheap shot to JJ's face. This brings of the Lakers body language of this series, their getting annoyed/chippy when losing. Their passes looks as if they are just getting rid of the ball rather than trying to make something out of a play. Lakers had an overall lower ADS by a roughly two foot margin, but had little to show when their first fifteen three-throws were in vain. When you're superstar shoots from eighteen feet out and isn't producing it raising cause for thought. Is his ankle bothering him more than he let shows and preventing him from driving the basket, but when you only make two baskets from the paint out of 49 shots there is a reason behind it. Take a look at the quarter break down.
