Lakers' Doncic Shines in 126-99 Victory Over Thunder in NBA Showdown
In an impressive victory, Luka Doncic scored 30 points leading the Los Angeles Lakers to route the league-leading Oklahoma City Thunder 126-99 on Sunday. With Austin Reaves contributing 20 points and LeBron James adding 19 points and seven assists, the Lakers demonstrated their strength as they have won four of their last five games.
The Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 26 points, suffered their second consecutive loss, failing to maintain their lead in the race for the league's best record.
