We single cover Luka all game. He’s had to account for around 60% of the offense and we divert to doubling him when his teammates are relatively fresh.
Let him go one on one all game, if he wants, but diverging from it and letting the rest of the Mavs get involved is a terrible strategy.
Aside from that, awesome block by JT and great game from this team against an opponent that has given us trouble for years.
Yeah I was wondering about this, as well. It worked so well, so why were we trying to change it? You saw how good Tatum was beating the double team with the pass, and Luka is better than Tatum at that aspect.
It also shows how good Tatum was that he was getting doubled virtually every time down the court and still put up 37, 13, and 5 with great defense.
