Another bad defense. Maxi can't match up with strong PF/C - a lot of help is needed below which leads to open threes. They were badly outrebounded again. Basically confirms that Maxi is not a starter material.
Offensively, Luka will need to be more efficient. Only 50 % from free throw line on 10 shots, only 25 % from 3 on 8 shots. He is taking too many very difficult shots which are not necessary - more patient play could lead up to more efficient shot, either from him or someone else. Jackson was non existing today. KP is healthy - his percentage was also not great, but he took clean shots and at this point we can say it was just a bit of a bad luck. I would love to see more activity from Wright. Luka and KP managed 39 points on inefficient shooting. Rest of the starters together managed 10 points on equally inefficient terms. THJ and Brunson were solid, Cleveland had very good 8 minutes.
