How Luka Doncic switch hunted his way to a massive first-quarter
Briefly

In a crucial matchup between the Lakers and Nuggets, Luka Dončić shined brightly, scoring 21 points in the first quarter alone, leading his team to a dominant wire-to-wire victory. The absence of Denver stars Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray gave the Lakers an advantage, allowing Dončić to exploit mismatches and capitalize on weaker defenders. The Lakers established a commanding 46-29 lead with Dončić in full form, ultimately winning by a large margin and leveling the season series at two games each.
Dončić would follow this up with another layup in the half-court, blowing by top-tier Denver defensive forward Peyton Watson.
Once evident the Nuggets would willingly give the switch while keeping single coverage, Dončić flipped into apex predator mode.
