Luka Doncic scored 45 points in his return to Dallas, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 112-97 victory over the Mavericks. The game clinched a playoff berth for the Lakers. Doncic, who played for the Mavericks for six seasons before being traded, was visibly emotional during a tribute video shown by his former team. He shot 16-for-28 from the field, including 7-of-10 from three-point range, and added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals. Anthony Davis, acquired by the Mavericks in the trade, contributed 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists in his eighth game with the team. Max Christie, another player involved in the trade, scored 11 points off the bench. The game was marked by “Fire Nico!” chants directed at Mavericks president Nico Harrison, who orchestrated the trade.

16h Luka Doncic is crying during his tribute video in Dallas.The craziest part about that trade is how much he loved being there (by all accounts) and the organization still traded him in his prime and trashed him on the way out.Still incomprehensible.
