From a life-altering phone call to quarterbacking the Lakers' offense alongside LeBron James, here are seven moments that define the early Luka-LeBron era for the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers won their fourth straight and improved to 4-2 with Luka Dončić in the lineup with a convincing 111-102 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. In a game that once again proved the Lakers' legitimacy as contenders to make it out of the Western Conference,

A late desperation heave Dončić on Thursday was one of the few 3s he's made for LA. No one seems too worried about it.

The Lakers won 106-102, their fifth straight win as well as their fifth straight win over the Clippers.
