“Fu**ing generational player,” LeBron James hails Luka Doncic’s game-winner
As the Lakers were scrambling to keep up with the Nuggets and remain in the range, Austin Reaves made a headsup play to hit the ring and then drain the shot to tie the game. In overtime, the Lakers had an intense battle, but a Luka Magic dagger put the game on the Lakeshow’s side in the last play.
After the game, James talked about the game winner and said:
“Just a big-time shot by a f—ing generational player. … We wanted the last shot. We wanted to put the ball in our guy’s hands. So, it’s going to be just the first of many game winners like that for him and in a Lakers uniform.”
Doncic drilled a baseline jumper in the last play to send the Lakers two points over the Nuggets, 127-125. They will next face the Houston Rockets on March 16 and look to extend their winning run further to grab a playoff spot as soon as possible.
