Лос Анжелес Лэйкерс зочлон тоглолтын үеэр 18 онооны алдагдлыг нөхөж, Юта Жазз багийг 130-123-ын харьцаатай буулган авлаа.
Ням гарагт болсон тоглолтод Лука Дончич 52 оноо авсан нь 2026-27 оны улирлын хамгийн өндөр үзүүлэлт боллоо. Тэрээр тоглолтын төгсгөлд чухал гурван онооны шидэлтүүдийг дараалан гүйцэтгэж, карьерынхаа 10 дахь 50 оноотой тоглолтоо тэмдэглэв. Түүнчлэн, тэрээр Остин Рийвист дамжуулалт өгч, багийнхаа ялалтыг баталгаажуулсан байна.
Дончич зөвхөн довтолгоогоор зогсохгүй хамгаалалтад ч шийдвэрлэх үүрэг гүйцэтгэсэн юм. Тоглолтын дөрөвдүгээр үед тэрээр Кэйонте Жоржийн эсрэг самбарын дор байрлалаа эзлэн, довтолгооны алдаа гаргуулж авсан нь тоглолтын эргэлтийн цэг болсон гэж Уолкер Кесслер онцолжээ.
Тоглолтын эхний хагаст Дончич хамгаалалтад алдаа гаргаж, Эйс Бэйли самбараас бөмбөг авалт хийх боломж олгож байсан ч хоёрдугаар үеийн төгсгөлд Бэйлиг бөмбөггүй болгож, улмаар гурван онооны шидэлт хийснээр багтаа 74-71-ийн тэргүүллийг авчирсан. Дасгалжуулагч Жэй Жэй Редик тоглолтын явцад Дончичийн хамгаалалтын эрч хүч нэмэгдэж, багийнхаа ялалтад гол нөлөө үзүүлснийг тэмдэглэв.

SALT LAKE CITY — Luka Doncic’s offensive flurry to close out the Lakers’ comeback road win over the Jazz on Sunday drew all of the attention.
And understandably so.
His 52 points at Delta Center are the most scored by a player so far in the 2026-27 season.
The trio of 3-pointers he hit in the final few minutes of the game were all consequential: The first tied at the game at 116 apiece with just over four minutes left; the second gave the Lakers a five-point lead with 2:22 left in the game; and the third not only gave Doncic’s team a 127-121 lead with 1:42 left, but also gave him his 10th career 50-point game (third as a Laker).
And that’s not even factoring in him assisting Austin Reaves on a 3 that iced the game, putting the Lakers up 130-123 with 34 seconds left while Doncic and Reaves taunted the crowd.
But it was his contributions on the less glamorous end of the floor that put the Lakers in the positions they were in to come back from an 18-point deficit.
In the midst of the Slovenian superstar’s offensive onslaught was one of the biggest defensive plays of the game.
After making the 3 that tied the game at 116, the 6-foot-8 guard slid into the proper help defensive position to take a charge against Keyonte George driving into the paint before the Jazz guard could make the kickout pass to Doncic’s man, Ace Bailey, in the corner.
Doncic made a pair of free throws on the Lakers’ ensuing possession after drawing a foul to give his team a lead they held for the remainder of the game.
“At the end of the day, he’s a competitor, he wants to win,” Walker Kessler said. “He wants to do what it takes to win. That charge was not only a great play, but just a great momentum change.”
Doncic had a momentum-changing defensive play earlier in the game that led to an immediate offensive payoff.
He closed out the second quarter by stripping Bailey on his drive to the rim before hitting a pull-up 3, giving the Lakers a 74-71 lead going into halftime after they trailed by 18 earlier in the quarter.
Coach JJ Redick said Doncic’s 3-pointer right halftime was when he realized he found his offensive rhythm.
But that 3 doesn’t come without the defensive stop and playmaking that preceded it.
“I told him this earlier [on Sunday]: Defensively, he’s been really good,” Redick said. “He didn’t start the game with the right physicality on Bailey. He’ll own all that stuff. As the game progressed, it was the defensive version of Luka that we love to see.”
Doncic acknowledged his subpar defensive play earlier in the game, particularly boxing out Bailey, who had five of his six offensive rebounds in the first quarter.
“Ace Bailey got like three offensive rebounds on me, so that was my bad point,” he said, “But otherwise, pretty solid.”
But he made a significant defensive turnaround just in time to lead the Lakers to their straight win.
