Jason Kidd's Coaching Decisions Called Into Question After Mavericks' Game 3 Loss

Did some of Kidd's coaching decisions cost the Mavericks Game 3 and potentially a championship?

There were many reasons the Dallas Mavericks lost Game 3 on Wednesday night, between bad offensive stretches, Luka Doncic fouling out, and some questionable timeouts and rotation decisions. A lot of it comes down to the decision of Jason Kidd and if he gave his team the best chance of winning.In the second half, Kidd optioned to play Tim Hardaway Jr. over Derrick Jones Jr., who was struggling to get any shots off in this series.

The other major questionable decision was a timeout with 5:25 remaining in the game. Dallas was on a 20-2 run to get themselves within three points towards the end of the game as Kidd called a timeout. He was asked about this decision in his postgame press conference. In the moment, I didn't hate the timeout. Being at the game, it felt like the game was starting to be too loose, but in hindsight, it didn't help anything. In the first possession after the timeout, Doncic missed a three, then picked up his fifth foul, Al Horford missed a three, then Irving missed the mid-range pull-up after that. Kidd called a timeout after this sequence to challenge Doncic's sixth foul, which was unsuccessful.
