His middle stretch of 20 games was the one good run of overall D that KP has had in DAL. DP was injured and out. Luka was in and out with injury. The lineups were really inconsistent. Sometimes Maxi started, sometimes he didn't.
And contrary to popular belief "terrible D" KP started in the bubble BEFORE the injury.
The only thing this "stats" tell me is, this kind of stats is useless in a small sample size.
What does Dame going full Supernova against anyone and anything has to do with KP playing good or bad defence.
Don't get me wrong, I think the Mavs played aweful as a whole in the pre-playoffs bubble. KPs offense was the bright spot.
