Even with Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and LeBron James sidelined, many anticipated a detailed contest between the Lakers and Nuggets on Wednesday. Luka Doncic had different concepts.
Inside the first 12 minutes, the Slovenian ensured it was curtains for the visiting Nuggets by posting a novel first-quarter stat line by no means achieved by any Laker in historical past. Doncic almost single-handedly outscored the Nuggets because the Lakers took a 17-point lead coming into the second quarter en path to a 120-108 victory.
The outstanding quarter gave him one other distinctive distinction. Doncic, 26, turned the youngest Laker point guard with a 20-point quarter.
