The Los Angeles Lakers arguably played their most hard-fought game of the season at home against the San Antonio Spurs, and it couldn’t have been possible without Luka Doncic’s stunning performance — a near triple-double where he dropped 35 points, 13 assists, nine rebounds, and a season-high five steals in 42 minutes of action.
Doncic continues to prove each time he steps on the court why the Dallas Mavericks shouldn’t have traded him away, dazzling the crowd with his acrobatic moves, precise court vision, and creative shot selection. But it’s not just the fans that are left stunned — it’s his teammates too.
One play early into the night saw Doncic being double-teamed by Stephon Castle and Julian Champagnie near the baseline, before throwing an off-balance, behind-the-head pass to Rui Hachimura at the top of the three-point line, where he calmly buried the shot to the delight of the Crypto.com Arena crowd. Austin Reaves and LeBron James, viewing from the sideline, couldn’t help but look at one another in astonishment, shaking their heads in disbelief.

Doncic would split the two defenders, dropping Olynyk to the floor before finishing at the rim with an uncontested layup. James and Reaves exchanged glances again, both wondering how Doncic managed to execute such a difficult move with effortless control.

— Lakers All Day Everyday (@LADEig) November 6, 2025It’s no secret that both players are familiar with Doncic’s game, having shared the court with him in a Lakers uniform during both the regular season and playoffs. No matter where Doncic lands or what team he’s representing, it’s always going to be a show — the full display of “Luka Magic” that makes him one of basketball’s most captivating stars.
Luckily for Doncic, he won’t have to carry the offensive load for much longer, with both Reaves and James eyeing a return to the court in the coming days. James continues to recover from right-side sciatica, while Reaves remains cautious with a groin injury that’s kept him sidelined for at least two games.
As for what’s next, it’s always a mystery with Luka Doncic — but as fans have learned, it’s never anything short of amazing.
