Doncic scores 14 points in 24 minutes, immediately getting into the flow with James and receiving multiple standing ovations from fans wearing T-shirts in his honor during a 132-113 victory.

LOS ANGELES — The tone for Luka Doncic’s Lakers debut, a 132-113 home win against the Utah Jazz, was set before the 25-year-old recorded his first assist with an alley-oop to Jaxson Hayes less than a minute into the game.

When the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers just over a week ago, the move sent shock waves through the world of sports. Rival teams wondered whether the Lakers had just been gifted a new chapter of dominance—and what in the world the Mavericks were thinking.

In Doncic’s first game with Los Angeles, the star pair flashed immediate chemistry that showed how their unexpected partnership can work.

Luka Doncic had 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in his Lakers debut as Los Angeles beat the Utah Jazz 132-113.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a roll in the last couple of weeks. They have won ten in their last eleven games. Most of those games have come before Luka Doncic was traded to the Lakers. Now, they are expected to be even better.
