The Lakers achieved a significant 123-100 victory against the Denver Nuggets, with Luka Dončić having his first big impact since joining the team. Key to their success was the team's defense on Nikola Jokic, who managed only seven shot attempts, a season-low for him. LeBron James emphasized the importance of trusting their game plan and the team's growth, while head coach JJ Redick noted the challenges Jokic poses when he leads the offense. The turnaround from their previous matchup against Denver exemplifies the Lakers' improved dynamics this season.
We have to to win. In order for us to be successful, in order for us to win, ultimately, long term, we have to trust our gameplan.
I don't know that there's a position where it's advantageous for our team if [Jokic] has the ball... you have your game plan for when he has the ball.
