His legs are shot the 2nd time in a row after ISO Kawhi ISO Kawhi. Last year Nuggets Kawhi had no juice left late in the series, now Utah same story.
Mavs made playoff Kawhi come out early two years in a row. Had Kawhi not busted his ass every game the Clips would've succumbed to Luka's brilliance.
I just think we're seeing the aftermath of that series and the Jazz are benefiting. Also helps they have probably the best defensive player of this generation in Rudy.
