Hard decision.
Lively battled the MEM twin towers all night and still put up 17/11 with 6 ORBs! Add in 3 blocks, one of which looked like he was jumping out of the building, and he was key in keeping DAL close enough to win at the end.
Luka was back to being the superstar we all love with another 37 point double double and a +16 on/off. The only way MEM could stop him was to foul, so he was awarded 16 FTs (but only made 10).
PJW was a monster on defense and smothered Ja enough to shut down the MEM offense at the end. Then slammed the door with a final 3pt shot in the last minute.
Dinwiddie's large cojones at the end took all the wind out of MEM. When he made his 2nd 3pt basket in 30 seconds it totally deflated them.
I'd give it to PJW but could be talked in to Lively. Luka's already shining so brightly, this more about who else contributed the most.
