After suffering a disappointing loss against the Clippers, an embarrassing defeat against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Los Angeles Lakers is on their way to suffer yet another monumental blowout against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks.
Trailing by 15 at halftime, the Mavericks are so far the better team in all aspects, compared to the Lakers. Luka has been sensational in the first two periods. Playing a total of 18:12 minutes, the Slovenian youngster recorded 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist. The recently turned 23-year-old also blew up on social media for one of his spectacular plays.

Doncic has definitely been catching more bodies than ever this year. Hopefully, there is no “random drug test” coming Doncic’s way tomorrow!
