The Lakers laid an egg the other night against the Warriors, and needed a big bounce back game. Sunday against Toronto, they got it, led by an MVP caliber performance by Luka Dončić (on his bobblehead night, no less). 45 points, 15 rebounds, six assists and five steals. He hit all 13 of his free throws. Luka hit eight of his 12 three pointers, one off his career high for total 3's made in a game. He was spectacular, to say the least. And he was especially decisive in a first quarter where he set the tone defensively, not just scoring. Around the rest of the team, there was just enough to help him out. Walker Kessler finished with a 16/15 double-double, with three blocks. Austin Reaves had 19, Collin Sexton 14 and Sandro Mamukelashvili 11. This was game the Lakers looked like they had well in hand multiple times, and generally they did, but in the end they still allowed the Raptors to stay in the game, and even had to put the starters back in in the last minute of play. But they got the win, and weathered a Toronto team that specializes in defensive pressure. (Weathered, not thrived.) Could it have looked different? For sure. And it would have been nice if it did, but there was still enough there to get the win. (And plenty to work on...) HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers get the win behind a dominant Luka. SEGMENT 2: Inconsistency, especially against pressure. SEGMENT 3: Turning right around to play the Heat.
