It was the first face-off since the historical trade. The Los Angeles Lakers, led by Luca Doncic, won. Doncic was incomplete as a scorer, but the team won in the end.
The stronger impact was LeBron James' dominance in the fourth quarter since Doncic joined. CBS Sports in the U.S. rated it like this.
The Sports Illustrated (SI) gave a significant evaluation, saying, `We succeeded in revenge against the friendly team.' However, Doncic's performance has not yet been 100 percent.
The Los Angeles Lakers won the Dallas Mavericks 107-99 on the 26th (Korea Standard Time).
Doncic had 19 points, 15 rebounds and a triple-double of 12 assists. However, the fielding rate was not good.
After the game, Doncic joked in an interview with local media that `I couldn't do anything today.'
Doncic, who was undoubtedly Dallas' absolute ace and future franchise, was traded for Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers on the 2nd.
Doncic, 26, is at his prime. In addition, in Dallas, he was considered the best franchise star since Ducknowitzki.
Doncic was also eligible for a mega contract worth up to 345 million dollars (about 500 billion won) for five years. If Dallas had the will, he could have been with Doncic for a long time.
The first face-off between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas since the shock trade. Doncic was still powerful.
CBS Sports in the U.S. reported 'He certainly had a bad night as a scorer. He made only 6 of 17 shots and scored 19 points' and became the second Los Angeles Lakers player to score 15 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, multiple steals and blocks. The first is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Doncic's scoring ability itself was unstable, but he was still powerful. The focus was on harmony with LeBron.
The media reported 'It certainly helps that LeBron James and Austin Reeves are teammates. In particular, LeBron scored the most points with 27 points. Sixteen of those points came in the fourth quarter. After Doncic joined, LeBron scored 53 points in the fourth quarter and Doncic scored 13. This imbalance will improve. However, it is very reasonable at this point. Doncic is trying to regain his form after being sidelined for a long period due to a calf injury. Doncic's presence at this point made LeBron the perfect closure.
The two players have control over the game. In addition, they have the ability to match each other's plays. Doncic said after the game 'Shooting will depend on the pattern of the game in the future. Once he'll do it, once I'll do it. It will depend on how the game is played.
