And he shot nearly 58%, against a team with one of if not the top defensive ratings in the league! Yes, he had nice support from some teammates, but this is one of the easiest Dirkie decisions of the year. Luka played a GOAT level game.

I agree. He was even fairly efficient in this one. Most important of all, they literally couldn't score during the first portion of the 4th when he was resting and he had to be brought back early. Others made some of the memorable plays down the stretch, sure, but all of those opportunities were created by the defense's memory of Luka hitting tough iso buckets against a great defense. He contributed a TON of clutch plays in the 4th, and throughout the game, really.

We are officially becoming desensitized to this kid's level of greatness. Shame on us.
