The Los Angeles Lakers provided a glimpse of what the LeBron James-Luka Doncic pairing is capable of looking like as they dismantled the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. Doncic exploded for 32 points while James added 25 and each player filled up the stat sheet to notch a road statement win against a team many believe will prevent the Lakers from advancing deep into the Western Conference bracket.
Los Angeles is now currently fourth in the West with a very realistic shot to move up to the No. 2 seed if they continue to play like they did against Denver. With plenty of time to gel and establish roles going into the playoffs, plus the very basic notion that playing against two all-time players is something no opponent wants to do, it might be worth reconsidering the ceiling for L.A.
