He had all the reason in the world to hunt shots down the stretch of this game, but to his credit, once Atlanta started doubling and trapping he did not force things. There was one three pointer in the corner that I thought he forced, but other than that I thought he made the right basketball play every single freaking time. In fact, there was one pass to Josh Green in the paint that I thought was a lower percentage play than Luka just shooting himself. My goodness, possessions like that one where he threw the extra pass to Exum above the break for the dagger three… there were just so many of those tonight.
Once in a generation performance.
But not by trapping Luka, lol. They only tried that once, and it resulted in the widest open three I’ve ever seen in my life.
It really was impressive to watch him just keep making winning plays. That was a masterclass and a joy to watch.
They’ve been hard to watch at times and I’ve been down on them. Luka gave everyone a show tonight. Hope they can build off this.
