SAN FRANCISCO -- Coach Jason Kidd blamed the Dallas Mavericks' one-dimensional offensive approach for blowing a 19-point lead in Friday's 126-117 loss to the Golden State Warriors, criticizing his team for relying too heavily on the 3-point shot during Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.
The Mavs made 21 of 45 3-point attempts in the game, matching the third-most 3s made during a playoff loss in NBA history, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. But Kidd specifically cited Dallas' shot selection in the third quarter, when the Mavs were held to 13 points and went 2-of-13 on 3s, as a major problem.
