If the Lakers want to get back in this series on Sunday, not only does LeBron need to have another huge game, but Luka Doncic needs to step up. The Slovenian basketball star wasn’t feeling too well and it affected his game, as he scored just 17 points.

One thing is certain: you can never count out a team with LeBron James on its roster.
