Sunday's video game was what the Mavs visualized when they got Thompson this offseason. If he can continue shooting effectively from beyond the arc, Dallas will have a strong possibility to make a 2nd straight go to the NBA Finals.
The Mavs (17-9) will attempt to keep the momentum going when they fulfill the Los Angeles Clippers (14-12) on Thursday.
