Following the Mavericks' Game 6 win over the Thunder, Dallas head coach Jason Kidd said he thought rookie center Dereck Lively "did a great job of imitating Moses Malone."
Lively became the third rookie since the 1970-71 season to post back-to-back postseason double-doubles off the bench. The other two players to accomplish that feat are Robert Parish and Charles Barkley.
