BUt they called fouls both ways.....
Bottom line is Gobert killed the Mavs on the boards. Yes he's big and strong but if you go back and watch that 4th Qtr some of those rebounds were because Powell was not looking to box out. He was out of position often and the 1st thing you teach a big is to locate his man and box out.
If dude grabs just 2 defensive rebounds in that QTR the Mavs win

Free throws were about even? Wtf? 42 - 23 so if you mean we had half as many then yes, about even.
When you actually go back and watch the 4th quarter and you'll see Maxi face planting back down to earth. Powell didn't come back in until 5:35. Then he immediatelywent back out for Maxi who was 5 feet behind the line anytime he got the ball and not ready to shoot. Maxi fouled out at 4:19. So Powell played maybe 5 mins in the 4th.
- He boxed out well at 3:42 and wasn't credited with a rebound because Gobert smashed Luka in the face and somehow got called for a foul.
- Powell finishes a tough lob after that.
-At 2:36 he gets hit in the face and gets called for a foul.
- 2:08 Luka straps the ball clean from Gobert and takes an elbow /forearm to the face. No way that's a jump ball.
-1:43 Powell gets an offensive rebound and fouled. Hits 2 free throws.
-:57 seconds Powell gets a defensive rebound after being in perfect position to help against Mitchell driving.
-:31 seconds he stops Mitchell from scoring at the rim and gets hit in the head. Luka fouls and 1.
-:19 seconds Powell makes a good cut and catch then misses 2 free throws.
-:11 seconds DFS fails to switch to Gobert and Luka has no time to slide over on the pNr defense and Gobert gets a free lob finish. Powell executed his assignment.
Powell had 11p 7 rebs. 2 rebs in the 4th so idk what you think you saw. Just say you're mad that DP missed those 2 free throws.
Meanwhile Maxi had 3pts and 6rbs and fouled out.
