The Lakers are a horror beyond Luka Doncic

Golden State Warriors started the match strong with Jimmy Butler, then Stephen Curry took over, followed by productive minutes from Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield in the third quarter, and ended again with a great performance by Butler. For the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka Doncic stood out in the first, second, third, and final quarters. Apart from late sparks from Austin Reaves, there was little else. Thus, a comfortable 119-109 victory for the Bay team in LA.

The JJ Redick team had a tough time, showing many defensive weaknesses against a veteran like Jimmy who did whatever he pleased, ending the match with 31 points, shooting 7 for 14 from the free-throw line and a perfect 16 for 16 from the charity stripe. Curry, in a lackluster debut, finished with 23 points and 3 for 9 from beyond the arc. Kuminga contributed 17 points, and Hield also scored 17. Overall, a very serious performance from Steve Kerr's team, who led for most of the game and deservedly took home the win.

Nothing Without Luka Doncic

For the Lakers, Luka Doncic scored 43 points. The Slovenian was nearly flawless, hitting 17 of his 27 shot attempts in 40 minutes, only struggling from the three-point line with 2 for 10. Additionally, he grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out 9 assists. Austin Reaves finished with 26 points and 9 assists as well. Nothing could be achieved without them. And without Doncic on the court, there was nothing (Reaves couldn't handle the playmaking during those minutes). Redick has a lot of work ahead, especially concerning the defensive aspect.
