Luka Doncics 32-point night helps Lakers to finally win in Denver

Denver – Luka Doncic only needed a quarter of Saturday to score his highest score from his first three games with the Lakers and score 16 points, while Los Angeles built an early lead on the Denver Nuggets.

From there he continued to roll out and the Lakers-as Doncic with a game with a game with 32 points with a win of 123-100 with a game win for almost three years.

“It is very difficult to play here against this team,” said Doncic, who, in his fourth game with the Lakers, since the beginning of this month 10 rebounds, seven templates and four steals in his fourth game with the Lakers. “Just to win, it is an amazing victory for us and gives me a lot of confidence.”

The Lakers ended the nine-game victory of the Nuggets and grabbed a slingshot with eight games in the Ball Arena. The last time the Lakers defeated the nuggets in a regular seasonal competition on Denvers Heimatboden, April 10, 2022.

Before the game, Lakers coach Jj Redick challenged to turn into the competition so that he has a “blackout episode” in which he scream indiscriminately in the heat of the fight.

This happened several times on Saturday.

“He was well chosen,” said LeBron James about Doncic. “He was very set up on what he wanted to do on the floor tonight. When he started to hit and scream and bark them, either with fans or with us or himself.”

Through his first three games with the Lakers, Doncic had scored an average of 14.7 points at 35.6% (20.8% of 3), while slowly integrating himself into the line -up after a left calf injury since Christmas with the Dallas Mavericks expressed.

On Saturday evening, Doncic Los Angeles led to the field of shooting, which went off 10 against 22, and was bound to assists for the tour.

James had 25 points in the 11-opposite 19 shooting with nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks, and Austin Reaves (23 points, 7 assists) and Rui Hachimura (21 points, 4 assists) also led the 20-point plateau to. .

Redick said Doncic would see more touches.

“I think Luka has to be the guy who controls the crime,” said Redick. “And Bron and AR because we all stagger, they will have their times to be on the ball. But all three of these boys are very intelligent basketball players, and we can create mischiefs. We can get teams in the mixer.”

James, the beneficiary of an outlet-pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass through to achieve a few possessions into the game, supported Redick’s plan.

“I am a born, born recipient and he is a naturally born quarterback, so it fits perfectly,” said James.

After Doncic’s first game against his former team was held on Tuesday, when Los Angeles Dallas was held, the new star of the Lakers was already convincing that he and his new group, as he did with the Mavericks last year An NBA final ran.

“I think our goal is – not, I think I know that our goal is to win a championship,” said Doncic. “This is our only goal. And I think we have the team for it.”
