MVP of the night

He doesn’t just make threes off the dribble, because defense allows you to do that. No, when we put pressure on him, he attacks the circle and that fits well with our group in general.”
Enough to allow Los Angeles to firmly establish itself in second place in the Western Conference with 14 wins and 4 losses and for Austin Reeves to continue building his “cow love” with Luka Doncic.
