Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves combine for 81 points on 77 TS%
In a tribute to Kobe Bean Bryant and himself, Luka and Austin combine for 81 points on 77 TS%
Luka: 52/8/10/2 on 75 TS%
AR: 29/1/4/2/1 on 82 TS%
Stopped at 81 out of respect for Bam
No, they paid a tribute to him to. They combined for 83 with Kessler (all three)
Genius!
fucking hell you beat me to it 😭

His comment triggered you that bad?
Nah. #kobe2012
Luka’s amazing game is overshadowing that Austin had an absurd game himself despite being in foul trouble, he wasn’t getting away with what he is usually doing
Last year that would make Austin play terribly with frustration so this was great to see
Walker only had 2 points.. as someone who didn’t get a chance to watch the game, is it safe to assume the Jazz played drop on every PnR?
they stoped him well and he was in foul trouble early
early foul trouble and yep, they completely packed the paint
The Jazz obvi know his game, even better than the lakers, so they packed the paint and exploited smaller weaknesses. Then he got in quick foul trouble. He wouldn’t have scored more than 12 even without the foul trouble.
Do they know Lukas game by chance?
Not really, they’ve been trying to figure it for years just like everybody else. It’s tough to stop.
But he was lost on defense, too. He was having trouble on both ends tonight. JJ subbed him out in the 4th cause he was getting cooked around the basket.
Maybe he was in his feelings on his Utah return or something.
He said he was after the game.
Yes, they were in drop. I think Kessler only got thrown one lob in the game which got blocked. Just about every PNR ended up in a Luka floater or a corner 3.
Yea, he was 1 for 2 and that 1 was the “pass”(airball) by sexton.
Yeah that’s probably why Luka and Austin scored so much. Doesn’t show in the statsheet, but Walker has a nice impact.
Jazz gameplan was really no one leave Kessler to help. Make Luka and AR beat us🤣
Yeah that was interesting and it def threw the Lakers off in that first quarter. They also had JJJ only worry about boxing out Kessler and not really worry about actually going for the rebound, which I thought was pretty smart.
regular season is for trying out things
Doncic/Reaves/Kessler trie still averaging 75 lmao
For real? Despite Kessler dropping two points today?
The title says AR and Luka alone scored 81. What is confusing about the trio’s average points being above 75?
Both the guys collectively scoring high in one game, in now way tells me that the trio averages high over three games. Especially when Luka (kinda) had a stinker or a game, and Kessler had an even bigger stinker this game.
I don’t think you understand how averages work
AR is 82 TS% for the season.
Not 83% out of respect for Bam Adebayou
I would prefer him to respect Wilt TBH
Bam >Luka and Reaves confirmed.
Hard to argue with the stats ngl
Tbf swap bam and reaves and heat probably better right now
While that’s probably true, it’s more because how much Bam and Giannis skills overlap than that Reaves is definitively better than Bam.
Except Reaves is definitely better than Bam lol
83 > 51 (AR career high). Take that ARthiests
Cream Team beating the Bam Freaks.
quick mafs
Let’s do the trade then, honcho
Need a coffee date with Pelinka for that
AR genuinely the best itl at drawing fouls
He’s so good at it that the jazz just threw Josh O on him to play football and hack the shit out of him
Weird strategy as if he’s not one of the best free throw shooters lol
Luka and AR duo is unfair in that regard
Jimmy Butler.
AR is genuinely the best itl that’s played in 2026 at drawing fouls
Fake industry plant racist Laker whistle, cope
He had a good whistle in college and fiba
Fuck he had a good whistle in highschool. He had a 73 point game shooting 34⁄37 from the free throw line lmao
Bam would never…
Luka is a monster
Those last couple Luka bombs were disgusting
Austin was frustrated in the first and looked like he was heading toward a stinker and ended up bringing us back into the game in the second. Luka shot himself out of a poor start and was insane to end the game but I was also impressed with AR being able to come back from a bad start like that. Our backcourt is something else, but we still have some glaring holes
On a similar note, Luka Doncic and Kevon Looney combined for 54 pts
Wilt, Bam….. Luka and AR combined, Kobe.
Wilt, Bam, Luka+AR, Kobe, Luka
Wonder if people still think Lakers overpaid for Reaves 🤫
I’m biased but BEST BACKCOURT IN THE LEAGUE
Shit minney kinda nasty too.
I was like OF COURSE…WHO COULD COMPETE YOU IDIOT? Then I saw your comment and remembered Ant and Melo are on a team.
Lakers vs. Wolves will be one of the most interesting matchups. They are both kind of similar. Top 2 guards are their best players, the 3rd piece is a defensive center.
Kobe’s middle name was Bean?
Yessir
No. Bean’s first name was Kobe.
Where have you been
IDK. I’m 28, so I was watching him as a kid and it’s something I definitely should’ve known.
All good. Yes, it’s actually Bean. Look up his dad’s name. Jellybean. Pro player too
He’s also known as “the Black Mamba”
TIL that Kobe was also Mr. Bean.
Luka feeding families and saving lives
Luka and ar combined and they still can’t match bam
Add Kessler ’s 2 points, and the Lakers Big 3 scored one Bam tonight.
Imagine Bam playing with a top 5 player in the league. Just think about what their record could be right now
You just love to see it
Not exactly Bam, but pretty impressive
Kobe and Smush Parker better back court
couldn’t score 83 out of respect for bam
Tribute to Kobe would be if they shot 36%
Kobe had 74 TS% in his 81-point game but go on
ts includes free throws. Luka 73 game was 91.2% true shooting percentage (TS%) 25\33 field goals
cool story, meanwhile the refs give the lakers 38 free throws.
again with the FTs, is that the only thing you can jab on? where is that last 2 games??? douchebag
Did you even watch the game
Nephew didn’t watch the game
hey look! another brain dead foul by Utah.
Cope harder
