Nope, she whiffed in the original debate when Tulsi attacked her. Came up with her own putdown the next day. And now tonight. But not in the spur of the moment, as Buttigieg did.

And thus we see why Kamala ceased to get any purchase after that 2nd debate: they deigned only to define her by that debate alone and her perceived ‘failures’ and refused to update any expectations or give credit for anything else after that. Her status was forever set in stone.
