Obviously Luka being out makes a difference, but the Wolves are also doing what I've been saying these teams should do all along. ATTACK Irving, Doncic and the other subpar defenders on the Mavs. Seriously, go at them. Irving at times has looked hopeless/lost when the Wolves attack him defensively. Doncic is the same way. I was surprised the West teams couldn't do it last year in the postseason. And yes, I give Mazzulla and the C's credit for employing that strategy against Doncic last postseason, it tired him out and exposed him defensively.
