Kawhi is going to have to spend more time guarding him the next few games. Going to be tough with as much as he’s being asked to do offensively thanks to “Playoff P”.
That was a great shot. It's funny how in this era of basketball if you're down by 1 and have plenty of time to run any play you want, the best option is to have your best scorer dribble the clock out and shoot a guarded 30 footer.

Well it is when the guy shooting it is Luka Doncic.

He was more open than he would have been closer to the hoop. After the step-back, he had plenty of room. Open always beats closely guarded. What shot would you have preferred?
Luka is going to be the best player in the NBA no doubt, absolutely love his style of play. Leonard can guard Luka, but George has to score more than 9 points in order for Leonard to exert that much energy on that end.

I didn't say he shouldn't have shot it. I just think it's crazy how most teams have at least 1 guy that's so good at deep three pointers even with a hand in their face that it's the best option.
