Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. Former Vol Dalton Knecht played four minutes and did not record statistics for the Lakers. Luka Doncic led Los Angeles with 37 points, while Austin Reaves scored 26 points and Deandre Ayton totaled 20 points.

Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves' banter continues, with the former hilariously throwing shade (in jest) at the latter after the Lakers' win.

The air in the arena was thick with anticipation for the Lakers, a palpable buzz that had nothing to do with the usual Tuesday night crowd. This was different.

Always playing it cool, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander apparently had some bulletin board material. After Gilbert Arenas recently said that Doncic is still ahead of him in the all-time rankings because of his longer track record, he warned his podcast co-host about their ESPN matchup.

JJ Redick channeled rapper Jay-Z to give the Los Angeles Lakers praise after their win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
