The Los Angeles Lakers flipped the game against the Portland Trail Blazers when Luka Doncic hit a 62-foot shot to end the second quarter.
Luka Doncic powered the Los Angeles Lakers to a 124-118 NBA Cup victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night, sparked by a career-long 62-foot buzzer-beater to close the first half. The Lakers had trailed by ten before the shot after missing their first 15 three-point attempts, but completely reversed the contest's momentum heading into halftime.
Doncic exploded for 20 third-quarter points to lead a 34-15 frame, finishing the game with 53 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Tyler Watts argues that Doncic's routine practice of improbable trick shots paid off in an MVP-defining moment, helping lift the Lakers to an 8-2 record with their fourth straight victory.
