Mavs 109, Knicks 117

I think there is something to this. 

Huge guys who can dominate the paint, and also score from outside, have been the Mavs' kryptonite. Theoretically, I guess KP could have been that guy for Dallas, but, for whatever reason, has never established a dominant inside presence.

KP is shooting nearly 74% within the restricted area. That's pretty dominant. The problem is he doesn't get enough shots there. 
Further if he takes a step out to anywhere beyond the restricted area within the paint he shoots a paltry 46%. Not bad, not good. 

I don't think KP has the frame to reliably get he wants anytime in the restricted area, but when he does shoot there, it almost always goes in. Puzzling why he only gets around 3.5 shots a game at the rim and not more.
