When Luka hogs the ball for the entire possession and only passes to a shooter, nobody else can make an assist. It is the buckets scored of off assists as a team that matters, not who is sucking the boxscore.
This team had 30-24-23-23-27 assists during the 5 game stretch that Luka missed against the East contenders. That is 25.4 assists per game. Our season average was 24.65 assists per game. Yes the Miami one was an overtime loss but you get the point.
