Luka Doncic scored 43 points in his first season opener with the Los Angeles Lakers, and it wasn't enough to propel his team past the Golden State Warriors.

On Tuesday night at Crypto Arena, the Warriors’ team-centric approach to scoring the ball prevailed over the Lakers’ all-Luka Doncic, all the time tactics in a 119-109 victory. With sciatica relegating LeBron James to a spectator, Doncic was unstoppable as a scorer and put up 43 points.

Despite Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves' impressive performance, Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry clinch victory in Lakers vs. Warriors.

The Warriors have too much firepower for the Lakers, who continued to rally in the second half but fall short in the season opener.
