A Few Thoughts on Mavs 120, Blazers 112

[mavsluvr]

Powell came crashing down to Earth this game after his 2 great performances. He barely produced on offense, and his interior defense was non-existent. Whiteside just destroyed Powell every which way.

Powell actually had a monster behind-the-scenes hustle stat line:  12 screen assists that lead to 29 points, 2 deflections, 15 contested shots (shots contested?), and 13 box-outs.  His own triple-double.

Not bad for a guy that had 8 points and 6 rebounds.

I like that you show evidence of Powell's impact on the game, as opposed to just citing a box score or +/- stat.
