I'll hang up and listen.

Well for the series:

Tightly Contested (2-4 ft.)

Harden is shooting 50% from 3. 18 attempts. 52% of Hardens 3's are tightly contested.
PG is shooting 50% from 3. 12 attempts. 36% of PG's 3's are tightly contested.

Luka is shooting 20% from 3. Only 5 attempts. 10% of Luka's 3's are tightly contested.
Kyrie is shooting 50% from 3. Only 6 attempts. 18% of Irving's 3's are tightly contested.

I'd say the Mavs defense has been good seeing that they're contesting so many of those shots. Harden and PG are just making them at an insane rate so far.
