Summary

There have been some good moments, but broadly speaking, Lakers fans—and the Lakers as an organization, if we're being honest—have been waiting to see what the team would look like once Luka Dončić felt comfortable and played like the All-NBA performer he is. Saturday in Denver, everyone found out the answer, and it was a lot of fun. Final score, 123-100, as Luka dropped 32 points, along with 10 rebounds and seven dimes. And it didn't come at the expense of the other guys, either. LeBron had a smooth 25/9/5, Austin Reaves kicked in with 23/4/7, and Rui Hachimura had 21 points, including four 3-pointers. The team defense was incredible, keeping the Nuggets under wraps and limiting Nikola Jokic about as much as Jokic can be limited. (He still had a triple double.) This was a huge win for the Lakers, coming off some rough performances out of the break. They basically parlayed the effort they showed in Portland with actual good execution, and this is the result. Lots to get excited about. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter! In One-stop for ultimate team and league coverage delivered right to your in box.
