LeBron James and Luka Doncic powered the Lakers to a 112-108 win over Philadelphia. Doncic, fresh from Slovenia after his daughter's birth, made an immediate impact and finished with a triple-double. LeBron James contributed 29 points, including back-to-back three-pointers in the final minutes, despite playing through sciatica.

Philadelphia kept the game close with strong performances from McCain and Maxey, who scored 28 points. Joel Embiid tied the game late, but the Lakers' veterans took control in the final moments to secure the win.

Luka Doncic spins to the baseline, pulls up, scores. Fresh back from Slovenia after his daughter's birth, the NBA's leading scorer wastes no time making his mark. LeBron steams down the middle for the thunderous dunk. These two are clicking from the jump. Philadelphia fights back. McCain hits the three. Maxey keeps them close all night with 28 points. But when it matters most, the veterans take over. Embiid ties it at 105 with the mid-range jumper. But LeBron comes right back. Clutch three with one minute and 12 seconds left, then another bomb on the next possession. Back-to-back daggers from the King, who finished with 29 points despite battling sciatica. Doncic's triple-double tells the story. When these two are locked in, good luck stopping them. Lakers win 112 to 108.
