Emotional Luka Dončić drops 45 points in Dallas return as Lakers beat the Mavericks to clinch playoff berth

  • Luka Doncic, now with the Los Angeles Lakers, scored 45 points against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday at the American Airlines Center.
  • Doncic's return to Dallas followed a February trade that sent him to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis.
  • The Mavericks honored Doncic with a pre-game tribute video and many fans wore "Thanks for Everything" t-shirts.
  • Doncic said to ESPN, "I don't know how I did it because when I was watching that video I was like 'There's no way I'm playing this game'."
  • The Lakers defeated the Mavericks 112-97, securing a playoff berth and chants of "Fire Nico" directed at the Dallas general manager resonated.
