Luka Doncic led the Los Angeles Lakers to a huge win on Saturday night, scoring 32 points and recording 10 rebounds to beat the Denver Nuggets, 123-100. Late Februrary wins rarely mean much in the NBA but this felt different for the Lakers.

In a thrilling showdown that highlighted the star power of LeBron James and Luka Doncic, the Denver Nuggets suffered a very tough loss to the Lakers. Following the game, Nikola Jokic delivered a powerful message to his teammates.

The Lakers held Jokic, who entered the weekend leading the NBA in frontcourt touches with 56.6 touches, to 43 frontcourt touches on Saturday. He possessed the ball nearly a third less of the time on Saturday (3.1 minutes) than he did entering the matchup (4.5 minutes) and held the ball for shorter periods of time when he did have it.
