The Dallas Mavericks won a playoff game Monday night without star player Luka Doncic. Other players like Maxi Kleber and Jalen Brunson stepped up their game and set a postseason record with 22 3-point shots.

DALLAS, TEXAS - APRIL 18: Rudy Gobert #27 of the Utah Jazz blocks a shot by Josh Green #8 of the Dallas Mavericks in the first half of Game Two of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at American Airlines Center on April 18, 2022 in DallasJalen Brunson, Maxi Kleber and the Dallas Mavericks got even in their first-round playoff series with a bunch of a 3-pointers, their fewest turnovers ever in a postseason game, and without injured superstar Luka Doncic.

Kleber, who had made only 19% of his 3-point attempts since the All-Star break, was 8-of-11 from beyond the arc and put the Mavs ahead to stay with 4:21 left, then added another 3 on the next possession. Donovan Mitchell had 34 points for Utah, while Bojan Bogdanovic had 25 and Jordan Clarkson 21. Rudy Gobert had eight points and 17 rebounds.

"The telltale is we can’t have Brunson have the night he had and also be able to kick the ball out for those looks," Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. "And when those passes are kicked out, I thought we weren’t as sharp mentally in our ability to rotate. And that’s something that we’ve done before."
