Coach JJ Redick's Los Angeles Lakers welcomed Erik Spoelstra's Miami Heat to Crypto.com Arena and got a huge performance from Luka Doncic, who dropped a humble reaction to his recent scoring streak. Doncic got a lofty ranking in the most recent MVP Power Rankings, and lived up to the hype as he helped down the Heat by a score of 138-117 with 42 points.
After the game, Doncic was asked about a technical foul he was slapped with during the game and had a hilarious reaction that caused laughter to erupt at the Lakers' press conference. The Slovenian superstar dropped the mic, got up and left as media began cackling with glee.
