Luka Doncic shined in the Los Angeles Lakers’ preseason finale, playing 32 minutes and finishing with 31 points, five rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal on 8-of-16 shooting.
The Lakers played all of their healthy rotation players for a majority of the night though, and they still could not pull away from the shorthanded Sacramento Kings, who came back late to earn the victory.
It’s just the preseason so there’s no reason to be overly concerned, but Doncic wasn’t happy with the Lakers’ lack of physicality to begin the game.
“I think we started a little bit slow, not being physical,” he said after the game.
