Fortson will talk crap, but Luka was super inefficient. I liked his aggressiveness but his efficiency needs work. Under 40% from the field and under 20% from three. He’s having his worst shooting year since his rookie season and his three point shooting is the worst it has ever been in his entire NBA career. When we took leads in the first and fourth, he was driving and mid-ranging it. Second and third he just jacked threes and we kept letting Orlando make runs.
Brunson 19-5-3 is showing the world that he’s got value. At least a FRP if not two. We either gotta keep him or else trade him for something good. He’s just too damn good to get away.
No other takeaways. We got a lead and then treaded water for two quarters, but also showed that we could put shift into third/fourth gear in the fourth when it mattered.
That defense is the real deal.
