Luka Doncic scored 52 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 132-123 victory in a tough game against the Utah Jazz, so the team continues its undefeated streak in the new NBA season. The Slovenian Lakers star changed the outcome of the game as the Utah Jazz put pressure on their opponent with a strong start and the brilliance of Lauri Markkanen, who scored 28 points. The Jazz led 47-30 in the first quarter, but Doncic and Austin Reaves scored 29 points and changed the course of the game in favor of the Lakers. Doncic, the NBA MVP last season, had eight rebounds and 10 assists in addition to 52 points. He played a crucial role in his team's victory with two three-pointers in a row in the fourth quarter and in the final critical minutes, and finally sealed the Lakers' advantage with a spectacular assist to Reaves. It was the third straight victory for JJ Reddick's students, so the Lakers remained among the six teams without a defeat in the Western Conference. Doncic also recorded his first 50-point performance of the new season.
