Mavs were playing with house money. I would have sat Luka this game too. When he came back, it clearly threw the rotation off. Dinwiddie had to go back to the bench, and it took JB away from being the 1st option on offense so in essence it took him out of causing havoc to Utah's defense. Utah didn't have a answer for JB. He still had a decent game with Luka back, but his role went back to what it was prior to Luka's injury. Utah played better D this game, but I don't know if they can sustain it after one game.
