He had a tough shooting night in the first half for sure, but his 2nd half was really good imo.
15 points, 5 rebounds, 4/6 from the field. And his post defense/rim defense was all around exceptional. KP bothered Vucevic more than anyone else that night and stopped his post-ups more times than not. He got burned a couple times in the PnR but I felt KP was deserving of the defense game belt.
