The Lakers gave Luka Dončić a win for his birthday, but, if you believe Luka, not much else.
After Los Angeles’ 129–101 victory over the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco, Dončić used his on-court postgame interview to deliver a playful complaint: he said he still hadn’t received any birthday gifts from his teammates.
“Nobody gave me a gift yet, it’s crazy.”

The line landed because the night itself was already a celebration. Dončić scored 26 points with eight assists and six rebounds as the Lakers snapped a three-game losing streak, with LeBron James adding 22 points in a comfortable, wire-to-wire win.
