After the first quarter Mavs are leading 31-27.

Honestly we are down and I feel like we won. I mean nothing went our way that quarter, we started sluggish and could not hit a thing while they could not miss. Yet by end the quarter still playing sub standard we are down just 4.

Lillard stays out of foul trouble and keeps heating up and we should have lead by the half at this pace.

[shen]

Mathews 4/6 8 points
LMA 4/7 8 points
Batum 3/4 6 points

Need to keep that up and get someone from bench to finally step up.
