The young star looked off the whole night, as if he were running in quicksand, appearing sloppy, exhausted, and in need of a lift. He described his own performance as “horrible,” but his supporting cast was woefully lacking on the night. One of the commentators noted that Luka has carried the team for so many games, it would have been nice if the team could have given him more of a boost on a night when he was faltering. As a small bright spot, the What-a-Burger Play of the Game was Luka’s determined dance in the paint against a very aggressive Avery Bradley. With the Bucks looming on the back-to-back, it is a shame that Luka racked up 37 minutes in a loss.
I don't think it is a problem Luka had bad shooting night. Problem I saw was that he was forcing it. The offense just didn't get going and Luka was driblling way too much in this one. He was probably frustrated with himself because he was bad and tried to do too much leading to even more bad play.
