Primary defenders on Haliburton baskets:
1. Holiday
2. Timmy and Maxi
3. Powell (I also think Haliburton travelled in this one)
4. Bullock
5. Bullock
6. Maxi and Irving
7. Luka and Maxi
8. Bullock (increadibly easy for Haliburton and even more increadibly stupid foul for and one by Bullock)
9. No one
Turner:
1. Holiday (tough shot, decent defense)
2. Powell
3. Wood (PnR)
4. Wood
5. Powell and Luka as no help defender (PnR)
6. Luka as no help defender (PnR)
7. Maxi
8. Wood
9. Luka
10. Maxi
Mavs biggest problem is increadibly bad PnR defense. This is where they miss a big defensive wing. Luka is too slow to help. He can either cover the roller or the three pointer. Can't help with the roller and recover fast enough to his guy on the three point line.

I don't care about success rate which has a luck element. Just give me data on the times Luka allowed his team to play 4v5 on the defensive end that allowed the team to get an advantaged shot. That's a far more meaningful metric.
