Justin Jackson had a great stretch early in the game capped off by his triple that really kept us in there. JJ's threes were huge as well and it's special having him back out on the court. Both guys contributed sparks off the bench that were what Carlisle was clearly looking for with substitute early and often approach.
Ultimately for me the Dirkie always comes down to who had the biggest game overall (in this case one we probably lose without), and in that case it's Luka. The way he attacked the basket down the stretch was a real improvement over the Denver game, for example, where the Mavs constantly settled for poor long-distance jumpers until one final game winning drive.
