"Doncic was magnificent with 33 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds as he improved to 4-0 against his former team. The Lakers led by 14 points at one point before going down by 15 in the fourth quarter. They made a stirring comeback behind the three-point shooting of Rui Hachimura and the hustle and determination from LeBron James and Marcus Smart."
"Hachimura, who had 17 points and eight rebounds, made a three-pointer while being fouled late in the fourth quarter, yelling after the play. He made the free throw and then made another three-pointer to put the Lakers ahead 108-106, a lead they wouldn't lose. Smart and James then each tipped in missed shots and Doncic made two free throws and another basket to put the game away."
"Doncic was met with a chorus of cheers when he strolled onto the court at American Airlines Center to do his pregame shooting routine. We love you Luka, the fans chanted. We love you. Doncic smiled and waved toward the crowd. He had spent six-plus seasons playing for the Mavericks, a place he thought he would call home for his entire career as the face of the franchise."
Luka Doncic returned to Dallas and received cheers during pregame shooting. He scored 33 points with 11 assists and eight rebounds as the Lakers overcame a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to win 116-110. The Lakers had led by 14 before the Mavericks seized a late advantage. Rui Hachimura hit a three while being fouled, made the free throw, then added another three to put the Lakers ahead 108-106. LeBron James and Marcus Smart provided defensive pressure and tipping hustle; James finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and five assists, and Smart had 13 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Doncic became the youngest player to reach 1,500 career three-pointers.
