Lively was the difference maker. Came back on with 2 mins to go and the Mavs went on a 9-2 run. His defensive effort was critical in the win tonight.
His vertical scoring ability as a lob threat completely changes the dynamic of the Mavs offense. Stopping Luka and Lively going downhill is going to be a challenge for the league with Luka’s elite playmaking and scoring ability
For the most criticised pick in the entire draft. Lively looks like a fucking beast. Can definitely tell he’s been learning from chandler.
Mavs don’t win this without him
