Luka Doncic stats vs. Mavericks: Lakers star records triple-double, his first with LA
LOS ANGELES — Luka Dončić was playing with emotion and seeking revenge against the Dallas Mavericks, who were visiting the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
Dončić made a statement in his first game against his former team since being traded by the Mavericks earlier this month, recording his first triple-double wearing the purple and gold in a 107-99 victory.
Lakers coach JJ Redick told reporters during his pregame press conference that he was hoping his star guard would find a balance while still playing with a "killer mentality."
Dončić was seen staring and often mouthing something in the direction of Dallas' bench.
