Luka Dončić Scores 45 Points in his Return to Dallas, Lakers Win, Clinch Top 6 Seed
Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles LakersAbout this episode
That was impressive. In a highly emotional return to Dallas on Wednesday, Luka Dončić came out hot, scoring 14 first quarter points, 31 by halftime and finishing with 45, to go along with eight rebounds, six assists and four steals. Particularly impressive (especially to his teammates and coach) was how Luka was able to put on that type of performance after absorbing huge ovation from the crowd and an incredibly well done tribute video during pregame introductions. For the Lakers, 112-97 win, which featured a great fourth quarter push to regain control of the game and put it out of reach, has huge implications. They're now one win away from clinching the 3rd seed in the West, guaranteeing they'll host at least one playoff round, and at the least, they will finish in the top 6, meaning while teams are competing in the Play-In tournament, the Lakers will be resting. Just a remarkable night for the Luka, for the Lakers and their potential for a deep playoff run. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Luka lights up the Mavs. SEGMENT 2: Incredible focus from LA's new star. SEGMENT 3: What the win means for the Lakers.
