The Dallas Mavericks gave up six alley-oop dunks in Game 1, including five that finished in the man-hands of LaMarcus Aldridge.

"They've got so many guys who can throw it, so many guys with playmaking ability," Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "They've got six guys who can make that play and they come off a lot of different actions."

According to ESPN Stats and Information, Aldridge led the league in alley-oop dunks this season with 74. Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard was second with 66 and Los Angeles Clippers power forward Blake Griffin was third with 61 thunderous alley-oops.

The problem is the Mavs aren't really sure how to cut it off.

"We've been talking about it the last three games [including regular season]," Carlisle said, "and they're getting more each game. We're studying it hard."
