Playing in Dallas for the second time since his blockbuster trade to the Lakers, Luka Doncic scores 33 points as the Lakers surge late in a 116-110 comeback win.
Luka Doncic was met with a chorus of cheers when he strolled onto the court at American Airlines Center to do his pregame shooting routine.
“We love you Luka,” the fans chanted. “We love you.”
Doncic smiled and waved toward the crowd. He had spent six-plus seasons playing for the Mavericks, a place he thought he would call home for his entire career as the face of the franchise.
But a stunning, three-team trade last year sent Doncic to the Lakers.
Doncic returned to Dallas for the second time since the trade, leading the Lakers to a 116-110 comeback win on cold and icy Saturday night.
Doncic was magnificent with 33 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds as he improved to 4-0 against his former team.
The Lakers led by 14 points at one point before going down by 15 in the fourth quarter.
