"He was hitting step-back threes and hopping on one leg as he admired the arc on his shot. He pivoted around and through a double team and faded away deep in the shot clock, ready to sink Memphis' hopes with his signature jump shot. But instead of shooting, he dumped off a pass to a wide-open Deandre Ayton, who scored on a wide-open layup."
"Doncic's 44 points, 12 rebounds and six assists led the Lakers to a 117-112 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday at FedEx Forum as he returned from a three-game absence. The 26-year-old guard has scored 40 points in each of his three games this season. The only thing that's slowed him down is injuries: a left finger sprain and a left leg contusion suffered in the second game of the season in which he still put up 49 points."
Luka Doncic returned from a three-game absence and scored 44 points, added 12 rebounds and six assists to lead the Lakers to a 117-112 victory at FedEx Forum. He scored 16 third-quarter points to erase a 14-point halftime deficit and finished with step-back threes, creative finishes and a behind-the-back dribble. Doncic has produced 40-point games in each of his three appearances this season despite recent injuries, including a left finger sprain and a left leg contusion. Austin Reaves contributed 21 points. The Grizzlies mounted a 19-0 run and fought back collectively but fell short.
