I'm thinking he got the credit for his block on Plumlee shown here.

Luka locking up Kawhi one on one with the nice poke from behind - not sure if he gets credit for a steal there.

I mean if playoff Luka steps up in this way that's huge. We know he won't be perfect and he's not a lockdown defender by any means, but competing and not giving the other team easy looks - that's all you can ask for from him. |
For reals. He had some big moments defensively last night. It really cant be any other way going forward.
