The Lakers won Game 2 by a score of 94-85 (at home).

Doncic finished with 31 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists and one block while shooting 9/20 from the field and 2/8 from the three-point range in 42 minutes of playing time.

Via NBA University: "Luka Doncic—new context, but is yet again proving to be one of the best playoff performers in NBA history…

Impossible to matchup individually, need an entire team to stop him. Averages 31 PPG for his playoff career and only getting better. Insane he’s a Laker."
