When asked, Doncic and everyone else will play down the entire idea of revenge, but there is no doubt. Everyone knows what is going on. Doncic thought he would spend his entire career in Dallas and, on Feb. 2, unceremoniously had that rug (and tens of millions of dollars) pulled out from under him with a stunning trade to the Los Angeles Lakers.

A report said Luka Doncic's first game against the Dallas Mavericks is the seventh best-selling NBA game of the season.

Luka Doncic delivered a statement performance against his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 107-99 victory. The star guard recorded a triple-double with 19 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists, three steals and two blocks in an emotional game at Crypto.com Arena.
