The actions taken were still different, and led to a different, much better result than last night. To say that nothing changed is either idiotic or disingenuous at the least

They didn't change the offense. KP took his usual spot outside the three point line. Luka got the ball to the open man. We can't know if anything was said about making sure KP got more shots, unless they say something about it.

Our eyes tells us KP got more shots and touches and the people who called the game stated the exact same thing.

Harper and Harris both get a up close view of the game and action why would they mention this if was something they didn't change?

Do you ever recall him being that much involved in the 4th?

Besides the dude stated it himself that it has happened before he don't get shots or touches.

No sense in arguing it and hopefully the Mavs didn't just get him the rock because the media and KP spoke up about it this time.

This needs to be more of focal point moving forward because they are only going as far as Luka and KP can take them IMO

I didn't see him say he didn't get more touches or more shots. He's saying it was still the flow offense... that it. The flow offense that you said doesn't work late in games. We saw high screen pnr, like we see every single 4th quarter. We saw people double Luka, which we see a lot now. We saw KP as the man left open with little to no rotation. The only differences it looked like were conscious efforts by everyone to make sure he got the ball and the Bucks leaving him wide open and not rotating off someone like JRich. The only difference I could see as it pertains to changing of the offense was maybe having KP run more of the screens late, sometimes we have others screen and it looked like tonight it was primarily KP. That is still flow offense though.

To add to the above post- My fear is those who think this was some drastic change, next time we have a game and the same situation pops up and the ball gets swung to KP and he's NOT open and he swings it to JRich in the corner and he builds a few houses there then there will be nonstop posting about RC going back to his old ways. I do want to see a few called plays for KP specifically. It's on Rick to remind guys of stuff like this and it's on Luka and the others to make sure what happened the other night doesn't happen. I saw great shot making by the guy we hope can be Robin to Luka's Batman in the usual flow offense not a change and called plays specifically for KP. I also want to see more of the aggressive KP tonight though. I don't care if a guy closes out hard on him or is switched off on him. Go get us a bucket.
