The Los Angeles Lakers have tight-roped a lot of basketball games in 2025-26, leaving fans on the edge of their seats with the result hanging in the balance. The things is, with Luka Doncic in the mix, the Lakers have been perfect in the clutch.
That is not hyperbolic either. The Lakers are, quiet literally, undefeated in clutch scenarios this season. Los Angeles is 8-0 in games that are defined as ones coming down to the clutch by the NBA. They are the only team in the league who have yet to lose a game in those scenarios.
