Luka Doncic’s MVP-level season will test revived Knicks defense on anniversary of shock trade
NY Post
Exactly a year ago, the Lakers were in the same spot they will be Sunday, when the Knicks host them again at Madison Square Garden.
They beat the Knicks 128-112 on Feb. 1 last year, a normal regular-season game.
But then a few hours after that game, the Lakers made one of the most shocking trades in NBA history, acquiring Luka Doncic from the Mavericks as part of a three-team deal.
The Mavericks, though they landed Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick in the draft, have spiralled since giving up their franchise superstar — Anthony Davis, their primary return in the trade, is injured and Nico Harrison, the architect of that deal as general manager, has been fired.
The Lakers, on the other hand, return to MSG a year later with Doncic playing some of the best basketball of his career.
He is averaging a league-high 33.7 points per game along with 8.8 assists and 7.8 rebounds.
