Luka Dončić Scores 49, Lakers Beat Minnesota 128-110 for First Win of the Season
Episode 2489
Now THAT'S more like it.
After a bad opening to the season on Tuesday against Golden State, the Lakers raised their level against a very good Minnesota team and bounced back with their first win of the season, 128-110. It was fueled, particularly early, by Luka Dončić, who scored 23 points in the first quarter, en route to 49 points overall. (To go with 11 rebounds and eight assists.)
But the game turned when the rest of the cast started really pitching in, especially by changing the defensive energy. Marcus Smart changed the vibe of the game in a big way, and it carried into the second half, where the Lakers played a fantastic third quarter, outscoring the Wolves by 11. Contributions were all over the floor. Rui Hachimura finished with 23 points on 13 field goal attempts. Austin Reaves had 25 points, and only one turnover against 11 assists. Deandre Ayton found another gear in the second half, playing with much more aggression and confidence en route to 15 points and eight assists.
So the Lakers will head to Sacramento for Sunday's game with a much better feeling, and a chance to get above .500 for the first time this year.
