It was impossible to ignore the feeling inside the building, crowds and ehing on every crossover, gasping on every shot and every time a legend player tried to bring the ball into the basket in the basket every time to launch it.
It felt like a playoffs.
This was the first quarter.
The mob met this moment, the first game of Luka Donic against Dallas Maveex, the team with which he made his NBA career, the kind of game was the attention of the people around the NBA.
The building was warm; Donic, the main attraction, was cold.
“It was just so strange, moment,” he said. “It felt as if I didn’t know what I was doing.”
After his best game as a lacker, when he scored 32 points against Dallas on Tuesday against Denver, he hunted for rhythm – a search that was mostly fruitless.
Dallas expelled the defenders at them in waves, forcing him to hunt for a minor inauguration. One made three, one with a sliver or daylight through the light of the back, a steplaback on the left side, the next time was wiped out because the replay determined that it was out of the border.
If he wanted to take an accurate revenge from the organization that did his business, he could never really catch it.
“It was just a lot of feelings and not much sleep. But, just, I can’t even explain, ”Donic said. “It was a different game. As I said, I never know what I was doing. And, I am glad, glad it is completely over. ,

But even though it was his moment, Donic was not alone in it. A day later, Laks will have a Donic back, Dorian Finni-Smith did small things. Labron James did big things. And Laks again, winning the winning things, a hungry Maveryx team still ran out of the steam without anthony Davis, fighting his own way to win a 107-99 victory.
For James, it was a 16-fourth-term points, coming on a mixture of bucket lobe, tips and drives. For Finni-Smith, it was a very large rebound on a rare James Miss, a perfect screen for a odnic paste, a great defensive rotation and a clutch stealing.

JJ Radic said, “If we do not finish Bron, we do not win the game.” “And we don’t win the game if DOE does not make three large -scale plays.”
Donic had a triple-dabbal (now he is one against all 30 NBA teams), 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assistance, but he made three from the ground and just six-17 from the ground. James scored 27 runs, Austin Reeves 20 and Rui Hachimura had 15 in Hachimura.
“It’s very emotional, obviously. This is a lot of tax, “James said about Donic. “These are probably a lot of things that were running in their heads that probably did not even include the game. And with this said, I felt that he had handled it tremendously. ,
Despite the shooting struggles of the doon, Langs built a 16-point lead midway via another quarter, thanks to the kind of effort and made them the best defense of NBA for more than a month.
Max Christie ignited Dallas, however, with a major block and late one pair in the first half. Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson shot back the Mavecks back to a tie score in fourth place, before James captured the aggressive end and Laks Defense scrambled on the other.
The Lakes has now won 13 of their last 16 matches, especially in the first and fourth quarters of Dallas.
Radic said, “He defines what is normal.” “… this is not an exaggeration if you see our basketball team every night and you have seen our team for the last six weeks, then Lebron playing at the All-NBA defense level. He is. And now, people to people There can be a belief that I see it as a protector. Is in position, shifting, recovering.
“I think he had this perception at this age, such as conservation of energy. No, there is no protection of energy at that end of the floor. He has now played elite defense for some time. ,
While the energy was not for everyone, James was involved, on Tuesday, Langs played quite well for a long time, so that Donic could win a win that he wanted clearly.
“I mean, it’s going to take some time to close, I think,” he said. “This is not ideal. But, as I said, I am happy that the game is over. There were a lot of feelings. But we go very little, and it is better every day. ,
