Was just about to write, there is no way the Mavs would've been able to come back with KP out there.
Now a natural response to that is maybe the Mavs wouldn't have been down 21 in the first place with KP, and there might be a grain of truth to that given the Warriors had 13 2nd chance points at then half. (The lead was exactly 12 at half), and KP definitely would have affected that.
But there is no way the Mavs would've been able to defend as effectively down the stretch as they did with KP out there.
