GAME 59 DIRKIE: Winner KP (76%) & Runner-up Luka (24%)

[Kammrath]

Who was the "player of the game" who elevated his game to help the team win?

[Hypermav]

Luka for his 21st triple double before his 21st birthday.  Tying JKidd and honoring Dirk's 21 years.  Yeah that last one was a stretch.

[Luka_Magic]

I liked the way that Luka fought through his thumb injury, particularly after basically having it re-aggravated on a ridiculous non-call in the fourth. He looked as if he was playing with one hand down the stretch and was still diming up his teammates.

I gave it to KP although it is really difficult to choose. Most of the starting 5 were excellent, only Seth a little quiet night and bad defensive performance.

[MrGoat]

Either Luka or KP. I might give it to KP because he has been playing well next to Luka since the ASB led the team and scoring and crashed the glass.

Edit: Thinking about it more. Definitely KP. May have had an even bigger day if it wasn't for the early foul trouble. And that 3 he hit late was huge

[Jommybone]

That block by D F'n S!!! But yeah, KP.

[Reunion Mav Old]

A lot of teams have blown leads in the last week. It happens. But it didn't happen to us this time because the Luka/KP duo took over when it mattered for an 8-0 run. Development wise, this was among the more huge positives all year. 

KP with Luka is becoming a thing so yes, I voted for KP.

KP getting it done on both ends of the floor!
