A major reason for the Mavs’ loss was the low scoring performance from talisman Doncic, who recorded his lowest scoring outing of the postseason. Moreover, the 2019 Rookie of the Year was good for 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists on the night, while giving off 7 turnovers.
“You’d say he had his worst shooting game of his career, statistically speaking, and you know, some people will say, ‘Oh, he was shut down,’ Green stated. “You don’t shut Luka Doncic down! Even in shutting him down, he had 20 points like you don’t stop guys like that from scoring. They’re going to score, your job is to make it tough on him and Wiggins did that.”
Not only Andrew Wiggins stop Doncic in majority of the game, but even went onto score a significant tally of 19 points. With Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson coming to show late in Game 1, it was Jordan Poole, Looney and Wiggins who maintained a consistent scoring rate for the home team.
