Luka Doncic led the Los Angeles Lakers to a crucial 104-98 victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday night, and his post-game message was loud and clear. Doncic, who finished with 20 points, nine assists, and six rebounds, emphasized the importance of consistency, saying “We gotta play like this every game”
This statement underscores Doncic’s high standards and expectations for his team, especially as they push for a top seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers’ win over the Rockets brings them within 2.5 games of the second seed, with just seven games remaining in the regular season.
Doncic’s impressive performance was complemented by LeBron James’ 16 points, eight rebounds, and six assists. The duo’s chemistry on the court is undeniable, but surprisingly, they haven’t had a chance to bond over dinner yet due to the team’s demanding schedule.
As the Lakers gear up for their next challenge against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, Doncic’s strong message serves as a rallying cry for the team to stay focused and motivated. With their sights set on a deep playoff run, the Lakers will need to maintain this level of intensity and teamwork to achieve their goals.
