His lack of effort to start the 3rd opened the door back up for Houston. I hate being critical of a 50 burger but he could have scored 40 in three quarters and rested in the fourth.
95% is a bit much. I was being generous given the fact that without Luka the Mavs would've been blown out.
He was careless for most of the game, but when things mattered he came through. I'm not letting him off the hook. If there was anyone else that played well I probably would've voted for them.
But there wasn't. And Luka scored 50. Gotta reward that kind of night even if it was full of warts.
