Luka Dončić led the way for the Los Angeles Lakers in their 120-108 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night. Dončić scored 25 of his 31 points in the first half against the Nuggets in a game in which Los Angeles led by as many as 28 points.

The first quarter was nothing short of explosive for the Lakers. Dončić’s ability to score 21 points within just twelve minutes provided the team with a commanding lead that they maintained throughout the game. This early burst of energy left the Nuggets scrambling to catch up, a task made significantly harder without their star players.
