Play him one on one, let him score his 30, but don't let the rest of the team get open shots and beat you that way. It worked.
Luka got his 32... and man... he had to earn them, because he had some good defenders D'ing him up tight. He did a very good job scoring, other than his 3 point shooting.
But they also held him to 4 assists. The games where Luka is really gonna kill you is when he drops 30 with 10+ assists.

Wait you can game plan against elite talent? Lol they didn’t get the memo in Dallas.
But I totally agree. Also Simmons is terrific on ball defender and embiid is an elite rim protector so they are very very tough matchup for the Mavs.
The assists are hard to come by when he’s on the floor with Brunson (not a spot up shooter) and any combo of WCS, Powell and Melli for an extended period of time.
