The Los Angeles Lakers won their third game in a row by beating the New Orleans Pelicans, 111-103, on Tuesday night in a victory that showcased what they are capable of achieving if their two best players perform up to expectation. Both LeBron James and Luka Dončić had 30 points to lead a balanced attack as they worked together in unison. It was the exact type of output the organization dreamed of receiving when they made the move to bring Dončić in.
Perhaps the only question mark—outside of Dončić's long-term fitness and defensive prowess—was how James would acclimate to finally being a Robin to some other Batman for the first time in his career.
