ByNBAUSA



Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić was all smiles afterwards they easily beat the Chicago Bulls 129-118at the United Center on Monday. They have made it back-to-back wins and have also started their five-game road trip on a positive note.

Doncic again played for the Purple and Gold, scoring a record 46 points, including eight 3-pointers, along with seven rebounds and 11 assists. He shot 15 of 25 from the field.

Doncic said he remained aggressive in responding to the Bulls’ defensive schemes.

“They were trying to blitz, they were changing coverage, so I just tried to be aggressive, attack the paint and create from there,” the five-time All-Star said in an interview with Spectrum SportsNet.

He also sheepishly admitted a specific thing they need to improve.

“We did a good job in the first half, and then in the third we relaxed again, like in Dallas, so we have to work on the third quarter,” Doncic added.

“But overall, a great game for everyone.”

The security guard who does everything was very supportive, with LeBron James scoring 24 pointsfive rebounds and three assists, and Rui Hachimura remains hot with 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the bench.

Doncic praised Hachimura, calling him “pretty great.”

The Lakers have now won four of their last five games, getting back on their feet after a bit of a slump that had coach JJ Redick worried.

Los Angeles, which led by as many as 20 points, shot 56 percent from the field, including 16-of-33 from beyond the arc.

The Lakers next face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
