Frontcourt is just too much of a weakness for this team. It requires Kleber to shoot well and stay on the floor so that they can continue to run their 5-out offense. When he fouled out, they were in trouble. With Powell, he can't space the floor so it just turned into a Luka ISO-fest. And even with that, they still should have won if Powell makes both free throws.
That is one of the bigger chokes in Mavs playoff history, especially coming from a guy who has been shooting free throws well all year.
