Can't deny Luka top 5 all-time for this. At least in terms of regular season performances. At *_least_* top 7 since the man only had 3 turnovers.

I don't care what he says. After Klay's 37 pt quarter, this will be the most rewatched game for the next 20 years. Only 60-20 Triple Double in NBA History on a night when he led his team to a win after 9 pts down 33 seconds to go. What more do you want?

[@evanpenn1]

I like Luka, but the Knicks were running on fumes. The five starters played practically the whole game. Which is why so many of Luka's points were towards the end. Thibadeau is a good coach but this one weakness of wearing players out seems to be his achilles heel.

[@logantaggart4867]

Obviously the knicks were tired but I wouldn’t say Luka was fresh either haha, so I wouldn’t use that argument to take away from Lukas great game.

[@malcolmquinn3198]

Do you think that's a excuse for blowing a 9 point lead with 33 seconds to go? That's unheard of. That's the time folks turn their game off because they know the game is over usually. Plus the mavs 3 best defenders are out injured. That makes it a lot easier for your offense, which it clearly did because you had 3 players with 20+.

[@evanpenn1]

@@malcolmquinn3198 I wouldn't call it an excuse. As a Knicks fan, I'm just trying to figure out how they lost that game...

[@malcolmquinn3198]

@@evanpenn1 That's completely understandable. But it is a testament of how much Luka wanted that win, and for his team to support the outcome, even though they werent shooting well. Many people are still scratching their head tbh 😅

[@Docfly62]

Totaly agree re Knicks rotation choices, though that in no way diminishes Luka's performance. Its a different conversation. ~40 minutes is just too much night after night. And then when he needs a player to play 30+ minutes that was riding the bench for weeks chances are its not gonna work out. Skip talked about this very issue

According to Game Score which is a system John Hollinger came up with next to PER, Luka's 60 is ranked 5th all-time behind MJ's 69 and Kobe's 81. Karl Malone is 3rd and Harden is 4th.
