Yeah, so they were pretty much only trapping him when he was able to force Kemba to switch onto the ball. The Celtics were quite content to allow either smart or Brown to guard him one on one, but Luka did not seem interested in going against them. They were a couple of possessions during which he carefully called for multiple screens just to make sure he got Kemba, only he then wouldn’t seem prepared for the double that we all knew was coming once that mission was accomplished. It was a super strange stretch of a game, in my opinion.
