What happened in Luka Doncic's first game as a Laker?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, Luka gets revenge on the Mavericks. Cleveland Cavaliers win another one and the Magic are struggling right now. And we got Christian Clark to talk about the Dallas Mavericks and their side of the loss to Luka. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, S. Good morning. How about those Lakers, S? Yeah. Wow.
Showtime is back. We finally got the game. This was probably like one of the most anticipated games of the season, right?
It had to be. Yeah. Absolutely. That, I mean, it was Luka's debut was probably the one right before that. Yeah. Yeah. The Mavericks in L.A. facing Luka Doncic for the first time. And... The Lakers get the win, 107-99. Luka Doncic records his first triple-double as a Laker, which I believe, I didn't look this up, but I'm guessing because it's such a rare thing.
How did LeBron James perform in the game?
I think he's probably the first guy to record his first triple-double with his new team against his old team. I believe it.
Honestly, yeah. Unless Russell Westbrook did it at some point, I believe it. He did not.
I do know that. I looked that up. Then we're good.
Yeah. Luca was awesome. I thought the theatrics behind this whole thing, he pulls up and changes his license plate. The commercial that Jordan Brand did, they gave out free parking. before the game to all the Lakers fans there's fans chanting thank you Nico to Nico Harrison in the middle of the game Nico is warming up as actually watching Luca warm up before the game so there was like all this little theatrical stuff that was happening that heightened the drama around it and you could see that there was tons of emotion from both sides Luca the way that he started the game Kyrie the way that really
Early Luca was, you know, contesting a foul call. Kyrie came out, had 12 quick points, which was awesome. It felt like an event. It did. It did.
What were the key moments of the game against the Mavericks?
Yeah, it felt it felt like a playoff game, actually, if anything, like it just felt like these two teams were so invested in beating each other that there was even it. Later in the game, there was like Jared Vanderbilt got into it with Kyrie and there was some little back and forth there. Luka kept looking at the bench constantly whenever he was scoring. Oh, yeah. And it made for just like an awesome basketball game. It was really high level stuff from both sides.
Yeah. I mean, the first six minutes of the game before they took away one of the three pointers that Luka had made. I mean, Luka puts up 10 points, had like. Yeah. what, four rebounds, a couple of assists, a steal and a block. And he's chirping. I thought he was chirping at Jason Kidd, but I'm not sure. I wasn't in the arena, so I don't know. We'll have to wait for the reporting on that. But, you know, just he came out, I thought, fired up. But the other guy that was really fired up – we'll get to the Kyrie side of this when we talk to Christian Clark after the break, but man, LeBron James, he continues this run that he's been on for a little while now. And I've been saying this and S I think you agree with me here.
Been playing like a top five, you know, top eight, whatever we want to, wherever we want to set that line of delineation, but he's been playing out of his mind for especially his age. But the defensive end, This guy has been pretty incredible. And this is another game where LeBron steps up defensively. I mean, in lieu of a really strong defensive big man, LeBron James is doing a more than credible job.
Yeah. I mean, I think... The switch everything defense is predicated on the fact that you are able to be crisp on your rotations, that you are willing to buy in on maybe guarding someone who's quicker than you or guarding someone who's bigger than you. And in a situation where you're playing switch everything, LeBron can be your safety for everything that you do.
