That's a good point. Luka has missed multiple games only twice this season, that being from 11/17-11-21 and 12/12-12/31. He's missed a single game two times. That being 12/04 against MEM and 12/07 against HOU.
During 11/17-11/21 the Mavs record in clutch games were: 0-2
During 12/12-12/31 the Mavs record in clutch games were: 0-5.
In the individual games where Luka missed the Mavs never played a clutch game. That means the Mavs record with Luka in the clutch is a more respectable 14-8. That would put them at 6th in the league in terms of winning%.
In fact, since January, the Mavs are tied for 3rd (along with CLE, and CHI) in clutch record, behind only MEM and PHX.
