I'm almost consider Luka the one to lose this game but it was different factors.
Rockets game we had about 4 players with 20+ points, tonight it was just 2 players (KP, Luka) with double digit scores, the rest were scoring single digits, mostly by relying on the 3pointer. Carlisle had this weird rotation of subbing out plenty of times in the first half (with Boban ,Cleveland, Burke and back and forth with the starters), but got away with that and stick with Luka and KP for way tooo long in the second half.
THJ has been for most of the season a 3D guy, but tonight just D. On 3PT's he was 0-8, almost a 1/3 of the teams missed threes were cause by THJ. He could of gone to his mid range shot or go to the basket. But he got too comfy sitting outside the 3pointer.
Next game adjustment, expect Carlisle to find THJ and make his shots early in the game.
