With the rain lashing down, Wednesday broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time with their first shot on target.
Reach managed to pick out Joao, and the striker applied a cool finish to notch his seventh goal of the season.
But Luhukay’s half-time team-talk went straight out of the window when the Millers levelled just 16 seconds after the break.
Michael Smith raced on to a Will Vaulks pass on the left of the area before finishing in the style of Thierry Henry.
And after 55 minutes they were ahead thanks to a blunder from young goalkeeper Cameron Dawson.
Richie Towell tried his luck from 30 yards but no one expected Dawson to let the ball squirm under his body.
That triggered boos and chanting around the ground.
Joao cheered the home supporters with an equaliser after 64 minutes, nodding in a cross from sub Daniel Pudil.
Vaulks held his head in his hands after screwing a shot wide – expertly teed up by Smith.
And Towell wasted another glorious chance to seal a first away Championship win in 36 attempts for Rotherham by blazing over after 85 minutes.
