At half-time, Tim Hardaway Jr. at just 3 points, the MAVs had a field throwing rate of lean 32 percent to show and lay behind. But then the defense presented himself improved and at the same time the throws began to fall.

Maxi Klue controlled 5 points and 5 rebounds from the bank.
We were tested in Atlanta and did not react well. Today, the guys delivered a good answer, Head Coach Jason Kidd showed satisfied. Doncic saw the improved defense as a success factor: Our defense was not the best in the first half. We have bought in the second half and fought together, not as in the first game. That was the key.
Best man at the households was O.G. Anunoby with 23 points, due to foul problems he was hardly any more a factor in the second halftime (5 fouls, only 3 counter after the side change). Fred Vanvleet scored 20 points, Rookie Scottie Barnes laid 17 and 8 rebounds with 5 fouls as well. Isaac Bonga was allowed to ran 3 minutes and collected a steal and a rebound.
Kidd trusted on the same starting five as the buried season start against the Hawks, next to Doncic, Hardaway Jr. and Porzingis, Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell completed the first five. Dallas caught a horror start.
