It looks like they've been playing together for years.
Since trading for Doncic on February 2nd, the Lakers are not only 7–2—but are also currently riding a three-game win streak against the Portland Trailblazers, Denver Nuggets and Luka's former team in the Mavericks.
Meanwhile, Dallas is just 6–5. Sorry, Nico Harrison.
Los Angeles is carrying a near-20-point lead over Minnesota as the second half approaches. They're currently in line for the 5th seed in the NBA's Western Conference.
