“It’s big,” Kidd said. “It just shows the depth to be able to start Spencer, or have him come off the bench when we’re healthy. But when one is out, to be able to start him and kind have the same game plan, as if Luka is still playing, as a coach that makes my job a little bit easier.” Kidd and Brunson said the Mavericks were stirred by a halftime pep talk from Dorian Finney-Smith, who stood and reminded his teammates of their season-long commitment to be accountable to one another.
