Luka Doncic’s crazy heater against the Clippers has fans going crazy
Former NBA scoring champion Luka Dončić he hasn’t shot well from behind the arc in the past two Los Angeles Lakers games, both against the Utah Jazz. In those games, the Slovenian was a combined 5-for-22 from deep, though he still totaled 70 points.
In other words, Doncic had to light it up with a more effective clip, which he seems to have done at the beginning Tuesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Cripto.com Arena in LA. In the first quarter alone, Dončić made not one, not two, not three, not four, but five of his eight attempts from the region for 3 points, while ending the period with 24 points on 9-for-14 shooting from the field overall.
A player like Doncic can easily drop a ton of points in a short period of time, especially when he gets into the zone. The Clippers are also one of the worst in the league against 3-point shooters, based solely on the fact that they entered the Lakers game ranked 27th overall in the NBA, making 14.9 3-pointers per game for a 38.6 percent success rate.
Doncic really took over the lead role in the Lakers’ offense, even as LeBron James returned from a back injury. Dunn started the day averaging 34.5 points per game to lead everyone in the league while dishing out 8.9 assists and grabbing 8.8 rebounds.
However, despite Doncic shooting lights out and scoring 32 points in the first half, the Lakers only led by three points at halftime, 69-66, against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.
