Luka Dončić makes halfcourt shot before halftime in Lakers' season opener
Luka Dončić banked in the exclamation on the first half right before the buzzer of the LA Lakers' season opener against the Golden State Warriors.
Luka Dončić scored an impressive halfcourt shot during the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' opening game against the Golden State Warriors. With just 3.3 seconds remaining on the clock, teammate Jake LaRavia passed the ball to Dončić, who was sprinting down the sideline. Remarkably, Dončić executed the shot without dribbling, setting his feet, and releasing the ball towards the basket.
The shot hit the backboard and dropped through the hoop, granting the Lakers a 66-52 halftime lead. Following his remarkable play, Dončić exchanged words with Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, who had been in a verbal altercation with him earlier in the half.
