The Point God Is the Ultimate Closer
PHOENIX — Luka Don\u010di\u0107’s playoff career—during which he’s established himself to be one of the greatest postseason scorers of all time—has come to be defined by his ability to surgically pick apart great defenses. In Game 1 against the Suns, Don\u010di\u0107 went off for 45 points. In the first half of Game 2, he picked up right where he left off, pouring in another 24 points and leading the Mavs to a 60–58 lead.
Then when it came to winning time in the fourth quarter, Chris Paul gave Don\u010di\u0107 a taste of his own medicine.
