00:00A very big night in Los Angeles where the stars always shine for the Lakers and last night the
00:06introduction and debut of their newest superstar who they hope will shine for the next decade plus
00:12in LA. That would be Luka Doncic making his Lakers debut last night to plenty of fanfare
00:19and had the red carpet rolled out. Crypto.com Arena DRS pre-game decked out in 77 Laker jersey
00:27t-shirts to welcome in Luka Doncic the first ever player in the purple and gold to wear number 77
00:34in Lakers franchise history and although Luka was just okay and not only his debut in Los Angeles
00:41but his first game in the NBA since Christmas day the Lakers continue to roll make it six
00:47consecutive wins now for LA hammering one of the worst teams in the Western Conference
00:53but still covering as a 12-point home favorite winning 132-113 against the Utah Jazz and Luka
01:00Doncic's debut again covering as a 12-point home favorite six victories in a row now for LA.
01:08Yeah you're probably looking from a side perspective the books didn't do very well
01:12because everybody was probably loading up on the Lakers by double digits but we talked about it
01:15yesterday even at FanDuel that line opened up at a number and dropped a point or two below but still
01:19the Lakers were easily the better team 37 points in the first quarter 35 points in the second
01:24quarter it was roughly over by the half but understanding Luka Doncic it was his night last
01:29night getting introduced there 24 minutes played you know he was a little bit nervous 5 of 14 from
01:34the floor only one of seven from three-point range but still finished at a plus 15 with 14 points we
01:40talked about what night did you think Luka was going to have and again under his points under
01:44his rebounds under an assist maybe that would have changed if that game was closer and they needed
01:48him all the way through the game he probably would have played 35 plus minutes here but it's a good
01:52start back on the court for Luka gets that home court out of the way got the adulation from the
01:57fans here now he's going to be able to settle in and we'll really see what Luka Doncic brings to
02:01the Los Angeles Lakers.
