Off shooting performance but one of Luka´s best defensive games I can remember. Including clutch stops in the 4th quarter. Just like in the olympic qualifiers last year he was matched up with Sabonis. Just like last year he played great post defense.
Was my biggest takeaway last year. And it seems like it is still valid. Luka´s best defensive position is PF. If possible keep him close to the rim. His help defense instincts aren´t bad (if he isn´t trying to avoid fouls or plays lazy) and his strength makes it nearly impossible to bully him in the paint.

Dwight Powell would be proud. "Face first defense" for the win.
