Luka Dončić feels his journey has just begun after Nuggets game
After playing three games with the Lakers and averaging 14.7 points, Luka Dončić finally had his best game in a Lakers uniform on Saturday night in Denver. Everyone was frustrated as his performance wasn’t as strong as Anthony Davis’. But Luka seemed to find his rhythm in this game.
In the post-game interview, Luka said, “Finally feel like myself a little bit. Playing this game, this is what I love. Just finally being myself a little bit, that’s why I was smiling all game.”
When talking about his team chemistry, he added, “Chemistry takes time. You saw today that it’s getting better. Every day, it’s getting better. … Hard, different, but I’m happy to be playing basketball.”
