Game 3 preview: Mavericks need to lob a few salvos toward Clippers

On the surface, what Jason Kidd said sounded crazy when he was asked why the Mavericks haven’t yet been able to get their lob-dunk game going in the first round of the playoffs.

Through two games, the Los Angeles Clippers have been successful at taking away the easy slams for Daniel Gafford, Dereck Lively II, Derrick Jones or P.J. Washington.

Those almost always come after passes from Luka Donu010diu0107 or Kyrie Irving, usually a lob.

So what did Kidd say about that?

“Yeah, that’s their game plan: make Luka score,” he said.
