""I don't want to create the narrative of [just] me and Luka," James said. "It's five guys on the floor and seven guys that come off the bench. It needs to be all of us. [But] it's important that we set the tone.""
""I just felt in a really good rhythm tonight," James said. "Had a good spring to my step, to my bounce and just tried to make the most out of my touches.""
""I think it definitely starts with us," Doncic said. "And when AR is back, it's going to be all three of us. But now, it starts with us. We need to show what we can do and if we are going to do it, we both are going to do it. The group is going to follow.""
The Lakers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 125-101 win over the Sacramento Kings, stabilizing the team amid a calf injury to Austin Reaves and an air-it-out team meeting. LeBron James shot 11-for-13 (84.6%), his most efficient game as a Laker and third-best of his 23-year career, and made his biggest impact in the opening frame. Luka Doncic scored a game-high 34 points, including 15 in the second quarter while going 5-for-7 in that period. Coach JJ Redick said strong practice chemistry between James and Doncic carried over to the game. The team emphasized shared responsibility and setting the tone.
