I give it to PJW for his defensive effort, although Luka shut up a bunch of haters with his D.
PJW also made pressure FTs at the end that were key to maintaining the lead and not giving LAC any momentum in the last few minutes. That's maturity growth right there.

If we were just talking defense I would have given it to Luka all day.

PJ had some absolutely horrible missed layups in this game that killed our momentum at times. But he shook it off and hit some very important shots and free throws later to completely atone for it which is very impressive for a player in his 2nd career playoff game. PJ's O deserves a mention, Luka and Kyrie have had very little offensive help this series so far. PJ is the only payer other than those two who is averaging over 5 points per game this series, and he had 18 very important points in this one
