This game should have been a massive red flag for the league. Calm, composed and absolutely torched the Rockets who were en route to make a deep Playoffs run.

Three years later, Luka beat Paul up again. Luka is always clutch, while Harden and Paul basically always chocked.

this is the game you know luka is taking over the league in a few years...with a game down 8 in 3 minutes, where you score 10 points, not shooting well in the whole game, you decide to takeover the game with you sheer confidence. Superstar gene is right there

The drive that tied it was just to set up the go-ahead step-back. This young man was playing chess.

This was official start of respecting him in NBA.

I personally do not see him as a rookie, he simply cannot be compared to any prospect coming from NCAA. Luka has more important games in his legs and head then any kid coming from NCAA. Still do not understand this amazement by his performance by US media...for love of God he was an MVP of European League. That is not a bush league... I'll tell you this thou...it is one thing to drop 24 points and completely another to take over last two minutes of the game like this. You have to be born as a leader, that you cannot teach. I agree with some of the statements made by US basketball experts calling him biggest prospect NBA has ever seen...
