Luka will learn with more experience. 30 seconds left in a playoff game with a 1-pt lead...you are not going to run a screen/roll action with a player who is 7th in scoring/shot attempts. The Jazz were glad that he passed to Powell so they could foul him with 20 seconds on the clock instead of milking the clock and leaving only 7 seconds left.
From a basketball perspective, that was technically the right play (aside from running it way too early) but from an NBA perspective, the opposing team is thrilled if you are letting a player not used to those situations decide the game there. That would be like the Mavs defense forcing the ball to go to Danuel House in the same situation.
