With goals from Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, and Rui Hachimura, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-110 in a new game of the 2025/26 NBA regular season. Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić said that he and his teammates put in a lot of effort to win the game and hoped to continue winning.

According to data, Luka Doncic scored 49 points, 8 assists and 11 rebounds for the Los Angeles Lakers in this game, Austin Reaves contributed 25 points and 11 assists, and Hachimura scored 23 points for the team.

It is worth mentioning that Luka Doncic scored a total of 92 points for the Los Angeles Lakers in the first two games of the new season, successfully setting a new record.

Luka Doncic, 26, said in an interview, “I hope we can win the first game, but this victory is a beautiful rebound. I think the Minnesota Timberwolves are a very good team, and we have to work hard to win this game. But I feel good, and I want to win every game.”

"I just wanted to forget about last season. I was trying to move on and not think about that first-round series at all."

Hachimura, who also helped the team to victory, said, "Luka Doncic certainly dominated the whole game easily, and we are not facing an ordinary team. They are the team that played in the Western Conference Finals last season, so this is crazy."

In addition, Los Angeles Lakers coach Redick said, "Luka Doncic's control of the game is very good, which means that when the team needs him, he takes on the scoring responsibility early. We had some problems on defense and they made some shots, so we made adjustments during the timeout."

"When they started to double-team, he took the initiative to pass the ball. On defense, the opponent targeted Luka Dončić from the beginning, but he responded immediately with defense. He played very well halfway through the first quarter, and he also grabbed 11 rebounds, which is really great for a point guard."
