Luka Dončić’s MVP-Caliber Masterclass Sparks Rivalry Drama in Lakers vs. Mavericks Showdown
Flagg finished with 13 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, but ultimately proved no match for Dončić, who finished with 35 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds on 10-for-18 shooting in a 129-119 win.

Now, Luka. This is his team, his city.
When Dončić emerges from the tunnel to take the floor for his pregame warmup, the entire arena soars with praise. During player introductions, his name is called last, a privilege routinely reserved for the game’s most important players. When he touches the ball, he’s greeted by an array of defensive coverages — outright blitzes to take the ball out of his hands, early and late rotations, traps, zone and everything thrown his way but the kitchen sink.
