Because of the Warriors' furious comeback, the Mavericks were forced to keep Luka Dončić, Jalen Brunson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber on the court. So well that they took a large bite out of the Mavericks' lead, cutting the deficit all the way down to eight points with just under three and a half minutes left in regulation. I also felt like the group that had played that great run in the fourth quarter, maybe was getting a little tired there. They deserved to win. "Yeah, I mean, with about five minutes left, I think we cut it to 14 or so," Kerr said. The unit of Jordan Poole, Damion Lee, Nemanja Bjelica, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody played well.

Matt Lodge makes shock code switch four days after mysterious ... (Stuff.co.nz)

Controversial prop released by Warriors on Friday and was playing rugby by Tuesday as reports claim he was given a $700000 golden handshake from the club.

it appears uncontracted— Michael Atkinson (@kinson88) @NRLprop Matt Lodge is dabbling in #rugby. Told he came off the bench at no.8 for Norths 2nd grade last night vs Bond. TBC if he’s having a serious crack, but I expect to see him back in the NRL soon Had a few msgs about this… Lodge was signed by the Warriors midway through last season despite his hugely controversial past in a move that angered many fans of the club. Following the mysterious and abrupt exit, that a joint media release from the club and Lodge attributed to him being unable to move to New Zealand at the end of the current season in November, it was widely assumed the former Brisbane Bronco would sign with another NRL club, within days. Lodge came on as a replacement for North’s Brisbane and played the final 50 minutes of the 27-14 loss to Bond at No. 8, according to Fox Sports. Controversial former Warriors prop Matt Lodge’s shock departure from the club on Friday, on the eve of the loss to the Dragons, has taken an unexpected twist as reports claim he was given a A$700,000 golden handshake.

In Game 3, Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber combined for a 0-of-12 clip from beyond the arc. Some of those looks were shots they'd normally knock in — but for ...

Green was visibly frustrated and angry in the first clip above — there were rotations that weren’t made, and some that weren’t supposed to happen. With Moody lingering too long on his stunt, Dončić swings it to Brunson for the open three. On some possessions, all it took was the simplest of movements to get the Mavericks an open shot. Kleber sets the ball screen, but before doing so, directs Finney-Smith to relocate to the opposite (left) corner. In turn, Finney-Smith cuts through the nail and fills the empty space (right corner) that Bullock vacates. They were finding holes in the Warriors’ zone; Luka Dončić was using the attention he was garnering to create holes and generate advantages. You rarely see Dončić move after giving up the ball, but that’s what he does in the possessions above. Draymond Green also holds up a fist to signal to his teammates that they should get into a zone, but not everyone gets the message. In Game 3, Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber combined for a 0-of-12 clip from beyond the arc. He holds up two fists — the team’s hand signal for a zone. The open shots that weren’t falling finally went in, but the shots that were decently contested — the pull-up threes that are generally more inefficient than the open catch-and-shoot variety — also went in. The Mavericks shot a blazing 20-of-43 — 46.5% — from beyond the arc.

'Looks like guilt money from the club': Warriors under fire over Lodge's $700k handshake.

“They paid it out in full and to let him go straight to market where every other team already knows he is getting a full payout from the Warriors. They have released him immediately.” “Lodge is not there. “But you don’t say that and then they say, well OK we will just pay you out $700,000. “That was the size of his golden handshake. “Surely when you sign a contract with the Warriors and we have heard it with other players, you have got to expect that at some stage you have got to live in New Zealand.” Nathan Brown is desperate. “He has been one of their best players and for any club now he is an amazingly attractive proposition because the Warriors have chucked in most of his money this year and most of his money next year,” Read said. “If a player goes in and asks for a release and it is on their terms because they don’t want to go to New Zealand, they don’t get 95 per cent of the payout or close to 100 per cent,” Anasta said. I have rung him. I have texted him. “This story is a bizarre one and I can’t understand and I would love someone to explain it to me, but Matt Lodge has been given a release from the Warriors, but paid out in full for the rest of this season and the rest of next year,” Braith Anasta said on NRL 360.
