In other words, he made a lucky ing guess.

He didn't say it would be 22. He said that's what he would tell his team, try to cut the lead to something like 22 then you can chew on that after the break. Now it's 14. That's manageable, but bleeding has to stop and you just hope your buffer holds. If they keep leaving the 3pt shooters wide open, it will be over by the middle of the 4th.

But lets be real for a moment. The Mavs have less than 50 at the half. You're not going to keep a thirty point 1st half lead. Spurs won't continue shooting well, Tony will stop attacking the paint in the 2nd half because he always does. He'll instead defer to the outside shooters. You could see the Spurs getting away from attacking the paint late in the 2nd, and started looking for outside shots. I realize it's an ebb and flow of the defense, keeps them guessing and moving, but if the Spurs fall in love with the outside shot that will affect how they play defense as well. We've seen it all series.

Can't keep a 30 point lead eh?

No. It was cut to 14. They got it back up, but that's not the same as keeping it and it finished 24pts up.
