Magic Johnson praised Luka Doncic after the Lakers' sixth straight win, but the franchise legend made a point of recognizing several other players.

Lakers legend Magic Johnson took to social media following Los Angeles' 124-114 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on November 9 to praise the team's supporting cast. While Luka Doncic starred with 32 points, 10 assists, and eight rebounds, Johnson emphasized that the win was not just about Doncic, praising the vital contributions of his teammates.
Johnson singled out Sandro Mamukelashvili's 23 points, Walker Kessler's 21-point double-double, Collin Sexton's 18 points, Ziaire Williams' 12 points, and Adou Thiero's defensive impact. The balanced performance helped Los Angeles improve to 10-2 despite missing Austin Reaves and Quentin Grimes due to illness and injury.
