The Los Angeles Lakers recorded a convincing victory over the Denver Nuggets, with Luka Dončić delivering his best performance since the trade from the Dallas Mavericks.

The Slovenian star shined in his fourth outing as a Laker, making buckets, dishing out assists, and having fun on the court, putting on a signature show.

LeBron James was in a great mood after the game, praising his new teammate.

I think it was his fourth game back, but yeah, that’s the Luka we’ve all been accustomed to watching over the last seven years. Especially when he gets that step-back going from the left side of the floor—pretty damn dangerous. Big-time game for him tonight,” James said.

He also talked about their on-court chemistry, emphasizing Luka’s passing ability.

I’m a natural-born wide receiver, and he’s a natural-born quarterback, so it fits perfectly. I’ve been running the floor and filling lanes my whole life, and he’s been throwing great passes his whole life. It’s not hard to get a rhythm when you have that kind of connection. It’s all about eye contact and him being the great quarterback that he is,” LeBron James concluded.
