I think he had a couple of steals and blocks too
Why do I remember this game coming before the trade deadline lmao. It zooms in one 3 dudes who were non factors in the playoffs or were odd the team lol
Almostn none of his shots were even hitting the rim that night, nothing but net in everything. Basket may as well have been a lion hoop in a circus
Why they gotta double him all 4th quarter
This was a masterclass in taking what the defense gives you. And boy did he take. The most efficient 60+ point game in history and the most efficient 70+ point game in history.
Hawks: “We’re not gonna switch. We’re not gonna double. Stay at home on your man. Luka can’t beat us by himself.”

The wild thing here was that Luka could have easily scored more, because he had a few more open looks, but instead chose to make the right play and passed to a more open teammate. Still, nearly a 70 point triple double is just bananas.
Compare his body in this game with his body in the playoffs. He was in much better shape here. Sadly he put on a lot of weight at the end of the regular season. Hope he will finally start to take care of his body in the upcoming season.
