11月3日，24直播网报道：在一场NBA常规赛中，湖人队以138比117的比分击败了热火队。比赛结束后，湖人队的明星球员东契奇面对媒体，分享了他对球队在应对对手双人防守策略时取得的显著进步的看法。
在提问中，记者询问：“在面对对手的严密夹击时，马穆凯拉什维利与格莱姆斯把握住了三分空位，并精准投射得分。你认为这主要归功于你在察觉夹击并迅速将球传出的能力，还是得益于球队中那些具备稳定投篮能力的球员，使得对手在防守时不得不解除夹击？”
"Numerous elements are at play, as I see it," stated Luka Doncic. "At the outset of the season, our response to double-team defenses was less than stellar. However, as you witnessed today, I believe we've made significant strides. Every player is now in their proper positions. Therefore, this is not solely a testament to my efforts. I believe it requires every player to be in the right spot, display a proactive attitude, and shoot with unwavering confidence."
在激烈的比赛中，东契奇全场比赛活跃了36分钟，投篮命中率高达58.3%，其中24次出手命中14球，三分线外表现同样出色，15次尝试命中6球，罚球环节更是精准，10次罚球全部命中，最终以42分、7个篮板、13次助攻和2次抢断的全面数据闪耀全场。
