Rick Carlisle believes it takes a group effort to slow down point guards like Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul.

“In the West, guys like Paul and Westbrook, you’ve got to have a lot of numbers of guys to throw at them,” Carlisle said. “One guy isn’t going to stop them.”

The Mavs held Paul to 11 points during their win on Friday and Westbrook had 24 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds on Monday, which Dallas also won.
