In the weeks since the Dallas Mavericks inexplicably traded Luka Doncic away, Doncic has quickly adapted to his new team, the Los Angeles Lakers. Doncic is on a hot streak, having scored 119 points or more in four straight games, including LeBron James' winning shot in the Lakers' 0-0 win over the Indiana Pacers.

Doncic had 6 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists that night, making 0 of 0 shots and 0 of 0 three-pointers. He almost became a hero for the Lakers on Thursday, but his winning throw missed the mark, paving the way for James' heroic feat.

Doncic and the Lakers seem to have been through so much together; The 26-year-old Slovenian star has endured multiple winning streaks and defeats in a purple and gold jersey, and their shared adversity and success have only accelerated his integration into the team.

"Just try to play my game. All my teammates have my back. They support me," Doncic said in an interview with ESPN after the game.

Doncic acknowledges that the Lakers' chemistry is still in development and that it will take time.

"It's still a work in progress. There's a lot of work to be done in terms of chemistry and everything. We don't win, it's meaningless. Today we won, which is great," Doncic added.

Doncic and the Lakers have shown signs of being an unstoppable force and they are still improving, imagine how scary they will be once they fully merge and once James is fully back in shape after missing two weeks with a groin injury.

Luka Doncic is the star the Lakers need, more

To this day, it's still puzzling why the Mavericks traded Luka Doncic. It seems that his alleged physical condition issues and worrying habits haven't stopped him from being one of the best players in the league, and the Lakers are benefiting from his greatness.

As noted earlier, Doncic has now scored 30 points or more for the Lakers in four straight games, and this time, his stellar scoring performance has led to the victory. Doncic is the first Lakers player to score 0 points or more in four consecutive games since LeBron James accomplished the feat in 0 (formerly Twitter), according to the official ClutchPoints account on X (formerly Twitter).
