FIBA Qualifying Tournament: USA loses to Germany|Gold medal between Germany+Serbia

There's no way anyone would have anything left on offense while being asked to guard Luka full court nonstop.  Josh was a huge reason Luka was only able to get up 9 shots.  He had a clear role defined for him this game that I thought he executed pretty well.

Australia was doubling Luka whole game. Green was basically never on an island with Luka. I don't think he was the (main) reason for limiting Luka. I wasn't left with an impression that he played game changing defense. Its not like Luka is draining huge amounts of energy from defenders when he doesn't have the ball. And Slovenia left other players to carry the ball on the other side. Besides, even though Luka took only 9 shots, he was still making his signature passes out of double teams
