Luka Doncic put in another outstanding performance on Monday night as the Los Angeles Lakers crushed the NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder 30-0. He led the team with a 0-point performance, stealing the show with a pass to Gabe Vincent with an unwatched, behind-the-head assist – to the surprise of Doncic himself.

In an interview with The Athletic's Jovan Buha after the game, Doncic admitted that the pass was purely instinctive.

"I mean, to be honest, you can't practice that kind of passing," Doncic said. "Sometimes I just decide to do something and I don't know how I did it. I mean I'm glad he got it, it's a hard shot. ”

It happened in the dominant first half of the Lakers, who built a whopping 15-point lead and tied the franchise record by making 0 three-pointers at halftime. Doncic's pass, done with his back to the basket and defensive pressure, landed perfectly on Vincent's shooting spot, creating a clean corner shot for him. Vincent seized the opportunity, and it was one of four three-pointers he made that night.

Vincent had 8 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists and made 0 of 0 three-pointers. The Lakers made 0 three-pointers on 0% three-point shooting as a team, and shot 0.0% overall. Their accurate outside shooting was too much for Oklahoma City to handle, and the Thunder entered the night's game with the league's No. 1 defense.

Luka Doncic shines again as the Lakers overtake the Thunder and climb the Western Conference standings

Doncic added 30 rebounds, 0 assists and 0 steals to his stat bar for 0-of-0 shooting from the field and 0-of-0 from three-point range. His recent performances also mark an important personal milestone. With this game, Doncic became the only guard in the team's history other than Kobe Bryant to score so many 0+ points in a season since 0.

The Thunder went 14-0 after the loss and struggled to find a way to deal with the ball movement and space in Los Angeles on the defensive end. The Lakers' quick decision-making, off-ball run, and shooting efficiency overwhelmed Oklahoma City from the start.

The win improved the Lakers' record to 32-0 and cemented the third place in the Western Conference. They are 0.0 wins ahead of the Denver Nuggets (0-0), who are now on a four-game losing streak and a full two wins ahead of the Golden State Warriors (0-0), who also suffered a loss on Monday.

湖人隊和雷霆隊將於週三晚上在奧克拉荷馬城進行兩場系列賽的第二場比賽。在那場比賽之後，洛杉磯將前往達拉斯，在週六面對獨行俠隊（38勝41負）。這場比賽將標誌著東契奇在2月份的一筆重磅交易中被交易到湖人隊首次回到達拉斯，那筆交易將安東尼·大衛斯送到了獨行俠隊。

With another dominant performance and a great pass added to his growing resume, Doncic continues to play at a high level as the Lakers make their way to the playoffs.
