According to head coach JJ Redick, the Lakers won in large part because the team was willing to sell out and then some for the game. Los Angeles prepared for this regular-season tilt in late February as if it were actually a playoff environment.

Nikola Jokić was caught off guard by the plan JJ Redick and the Los Angeles Lakers executed against the Denver Nuggets. As the final quarter of the 2024-2024 regular season continues, teams across the league battle for a spot in the postseason.

LeBron James scored 25 points, Luka Doncic added 32 and the Los Angeles Lakers trounced the Denver Nuggets on the road by 23 points Saturday, showing flashes of the title contender people thought they could be when they made a move to pair the two stars.

It still doesn't seem real that the Dallas Mavericks traded away the heart of their franchise, Luka Doncic, to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the new normal is here, and for the time being, Doncic will look to help LeBron James lead the Lakers to another NBA title.

Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki revealed the reason behind his courtside appearance at Luka Doncic's Los Angeles Lakers debut against the Utah Jazz. Dirk Nowitzki had remained quiet following the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis.
