"Haven't even done dinner yet": Luka Doncic makes his feelings known to Lakers' chemistry amid gruelling schedule
Luka Doncic made his feelings clear on the LA Lakers' gruelling schedule when asked about team chemistry since his arrival to Los Angeles. It has been a taxing schedule for the side as they have played a slew of back-to-backs and games every other day.
Speaking to the reporters after the team's 104-98 win over the Houston Rockets on Monday, Doncic minced no words when addressing the chemistry.
"We haven't even done dinner yet because we've had so many games"
The Lakers have played four back-to-backs in March alone, with just a day gap between their other games. They are slated to play two more back-to-back games in April on 3-4 against the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans. They follow it up with a B2B against the OKC Thunder and Dallas Mavericks on April 8 and 9.
During their hectic run, Luka Doncic and the Lakers have won nine of their 17 games. This included the timeframe where they lost LeBron James and Rui Hachimura to injuries for a few games in between.
