But Bogdanovic then hit a 3, and the Jazz led 81-74 at the end of the third after a basket by Mitchell.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas didn\u2019t lead again until a 3 by Dorian Finney-Smith with 6:12 left.<\/p>\n<p>Doncic was still out because of a strained left calf he suffered in the regular season finale eight days earlier. Coach Jason Kidd said before the game that the 23-year-old All-Star was making progress, \u201cdefinitely going in the right direction\u201d and doing more each day.<\/p>\n<p>Brunson, who had 24 points when the Mavs lost 99-93 in Game 1, made his first five shots \u2014 with three 3s \u2014 in the first 6 minutes. He already had 13 points with Dallas up 16-9, then missed a shot before scoring the next Mavs basket by accelerating through the defense for a layup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe didn\u2019t wait. He took up the space and was aggressive from the jump ball,\u201d Kidd said. \u201cWe talked about it earlier. Don\u2019t wait. Get to your spot and do what you do best.
