Mavs 104, Hornets 93

I think it was that Lakers game. They relentlessly attacked us using whoever Luka was guarding. Or even switching to get Luka on the ball handler. It was that game where afterwards ESPN put up that home alone meme making fun of him

Overall though, it was identified during and after the Clippers series that defense and toughness were our missing links. We went out and added some personnel to fit that commitment. Makes it easier for Luka to buy in when there’s an organizational and team commitment.

Yes, someone talked last night about Luka's realizing that, if he didn't improve defensively, opponents would feast on attacking him on  every possession. 

Excellent observation on the organizational commitment. The FO doing their part, and Luka/Carlisle doing theirs. Great to see those efforts coming to fruition.
