Luka Doncic delivered an impressive performance as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets 123-100, marking their first win in Denver since April 2022. Doncic scored 32 points, tallied 10 rebounds, and contributed seven assists, demonstrating complete control of the game. His aggressive play, combined with his trash-talking, signified his solidifying role with the Lakers. This win stopped Denver’s nine-game streak and bolstered the Lakers’ position in the Western Conference standings, showcasing Doncic’s evolution as a key player for his new team.
It started with a few choice words after a step-back 3-pointer in the first quarter... Doncic finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists.
Like a Colorado avalanche, Doncic erupted on Saturday in Denver, sneering, snarling and trash-talking... he was feeling like himself again and had officially arrived as a Laker.
Doncic was in complete control of the offense, resembling his Dallas self as a mismatch-hunting pick-and-roll maestro... an amazing win for us and gives me a lot of confidence moving forward.
It's very tough to play here against that team... Just to win like that, it's an amazing win for us.
