HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

Of course, the strategy is totally dependent on Brunson, Curry and Wright holding down the fort late 3rd and early 4th. Those minutes are critical. Otherwise, Luka can't rest up for the stretch run.

They're getting a lot of burn to do just that, and getting better at it. I think this issue of KP being out and resting Luka has helped the rest of the roster (or at least the 7-man crew of THJ, DFS, Powell, Maxi, Curry, Wright, and Brunson) grow in confidence and competence.
