In the latest episode of The Good Word with Goodwill on Yahoo Sports, senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill and new contributor Isis “Ice” Young analyze the Mavericks’ dominant performance against the Celtics on Friday night. Vince and Ice highlight the Mavericks’ strong play on both offense and defense, as well as Dereck Lively’s emphasis on being the aggressor against the Celtics.
Luka Doncic, who has faced criticism from the media for his defense, delivered a stellar two-way performance. Ice acknowledges that the criticism was warranted, given Doncic’s status as one of the best players in the world, emphasizing the need for him to play consistent defense.
