In that stretch, Kai is averaging?
27.0 PPG
5.9 AST
5.6 REB
1.1 STL
58.1% FG
46.0% 3P (7.1 ATT/G)

And since then he's been:
27.0 PPG
2.8 AST
4.4 REB
0.8 STL
47.9% FG
41.7% 3P
That is a very, very significant drop in assists. A drop by more than half. A ball in Irving's hands means that ball spending less time the hands of THJ and Green. He didn't have a single game with 5 assists since then and he averaged nearly 6. He came into the league AS A POINT GUARD. It is good for Mavs when he scores AND CREATES PLAYS FOR OTHERS.
And that drop in the field-goal percentage is statistically very significant.
