Memphis found Cardinal open from beyond the ark a couple of times, and Gasol passed up lots of open jumpers in the first half.Dallas did a nice job slowing down the game, because Memphis could've easily gotten 100 the way they were playing, but Dallas shut them down in the fourth quarter.It doesn't matter who's guarding Dirk. Dirk made a lot of tough shots while still getting to the line a lot.
Dallas seems to play better against teams that don't score a lot. That is why the suns did so well against the mavs. The slower the team the better the mavs do.
