"The Lakers closed the game on a 29-8 run from there, with Doncic thwarting his former coach, Jason Kidd's scheme to attack him on defense when the Mavs had the ball. "We counted after the game, he had six straight stops where they targeted him," Lakers coach JJ Redick said of Doncic. "Just a fantastic job from him. Then [he] makes the game-sealing defensive play with the charge on [Naji] Marshall.""
"Doncic drew the offensive foul on Marshall -- a well-liked ex-teammate of his who he exchanged good-natured trash talk with all night -- with 41.8 seconds left, a possession after he cut through the defense to score a finger-roll layup to put L.A. up by eight. "It's a special place," Doncic said of Dallas. "I mean, I'm always going to want to win no matter what. Every game I want to win, but obviously this one's a little bit different.""
