Lakers’ Luka Doncic hits Kevin Durant with trash talk after savage step-back

The Los Angeles Lakers have lost their last four games coming into their matchup against the Phoenix Suns, and they were going to need something to help them find their groove again. Insert Luka Doncic, who knows how to wow the crowd and get himself hyped up, and that’s what he did in the first quarter chirping at Kevin Durant.

Doncic put a couple of moves on Durant that had him dancing, and the Lakers’ star finished it off with a step-back three that sank right into the rim. As Doncic went back down the court, he had a few words to say to Durant, and the Suns forward didn’t have a rebuttal.

Doncic has shown throughout his career that he’s not scared of taking some of the biggest shots in the game, and he’s going to let the opposition know about it. It’s funny because Durant is also known as one of the trash talkers in the league, so in that moment with Doncic, it felt more like a “game respects game” situation.

The Suns are trying to get some wins down this stretch as they’re on the outside looking in of the Play-In tournament. It’s been a disappointing season for the Suns, and the only way they can salvage some of it is if they can find themselves in the postseason somehow.

For the Lakers, they were one of the hottest teams in the league before LeBron James went down with a groin injury and has been out for the past week. There’s a chance that James will miss another week as he recovers, and the hope is that the Lakers can get back to how they were playing so they don’t slip down too far in the standings.

It will be up to Luka Doncic to carry the load for the Lakers, and he has the ability to do so.
