The Mavericks have trailed after one quarter in all three games of the first round series against Golden State. Their average deficit is just under six points. In a series that's all about holes, that's another one they haven't been able to climb out of in two of the three games.

"I expect a lot from this team," Johnson said after Saturday's practice. "I take full responsibility because it's my job. When something goes wrong, it's definitely all my fault. I got to do a better job of preparing them to play in these games."
