Luka’s night off was good in one respect

Luka Donu010diu0107 got a well-deserved rest Wednesday night against Houston, the first time this season he’s sat out.

It was good news in one respect. His run of three consecutive games with a technical foul came to a halt. While players have been known to draw the wrath of referees when they aren’t in a game, it’s rare. And Luka escaped any transgressions from the safety of the bench area.

But the first rest game of the season for the NBA’s scoring leader also meant that coach Jason Kidd got a chance to answer questions about Luka’s interactions with game officials.
