Luka Doncic's Revenge

Tension, a lot of tension. Anger, a lot of anger. Everything very contained. Luka Doncic played yesterday the most special game of his career. Los Angeles Lakers defeated Dallas Mavericks as it couldn't be otherwise after Nico Harrison's kick to the Slovenian. Luka was off target in shooting, but he dominated the game as he pleased and ended up with a triple-double that began with some push-ups in front of his former GM during warm-up.

24 days after the trade, in a clear nod from the always capricious History to Kobe Bryant, Doncic became a hero for Krypto forever and started his revenge against those who have disrespected him after 7 undisputed years. The game itself didn't have much of a story: the Lakers won by 107-99. They are superior to a Mavericks team with an impaired inside game that, beyond Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson, has few options in attack (apparently, Harrison believed that the open shots to PJ Washington and company were Heaven-sent).

Luka Doncic finished with 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists, although as mentioned, he was wayward with 6 out of 17 field goals. LeBron James was crucial in the end with 27 points overall and 18 in the final quarter. Kyrie's good 35 points were not enough. The Lakers sit fourth in the West with 35 wins and 21 losses. The Mavs are ninth with 31-28.

It would be incredible if they ended up meeting in the playoffs. The Angelinos paid tribute to Anthony Davis, who was on the Mavs' bench but couldn't play due to injury. There is still much to unravel in this story. For now, Luka is already the third player in history to achieve a triple-double against all NBA teams.
