The Lakers have found their groove, and with the latest addition of superstar guard Luka Dončić, things seem to be trending upward for Los Angeles. L.A. acquired Dončić on Feb. 1 in a move that no one saw coming,

Dončić tallied his first double in the purple and gold, recording 19 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, and two rebounds on 6-for-17 shooting from the field in 35 minutes of action. In the process, he joined LeBron James and Russell Westbrook as the only players to put up a triple-double against all 30 teams.

Doncic acknowledges “closure is going to take a while” but he navigated an emotional hurdle, and he and the team are focused on a daunting March schedule.
