This film room study details exactly what makes Golden State so different from other playoff teams, how Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole attacked Luka Doncic and rendered Dallas's previous scheme against the Suns useless, and why Draymond Green is the key to defending the Mavs 5-out, switch-hunting offense.
