It's because Haliburton was shooting 20% from 3 last night, so last night he wasn't a 43% shooter. Ever consider why Gentry put Metu in the on the right side corner, the prime 3 point kickout spot? Because Metu was shot 50% from 3 last night.
Everyone keeps saying that Powell left a 24% 3 point shooter, but that's not true. Last night, he was a 50% 3 point shooter. Alvin Gentry is a seasoned coach in the NBA, and he's not an idiot. I get it when instincts kick in, but you have to relaize who's out there and how they are playing.
Because he is a terrible 3pt shooter. Let's say if Dallas was down 3, and you put Powell in a bail out corner, you'd be out of Dallas so fast your heels wouldn't touch the ground till New Mexico...
