Luka Doncic believes Lakers can be 'way better' on defense

Luka Dončić says the Los Angeles Lakers can improve their defense despite opening the season with a 10–2 record and six straight wins. The team ranks first offensively but 19th defensively, an area Dončić believes it has the potential to strengthen. He recorded 32 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists, five steals and two blocks in Monday’s win over Atlanta, while the Lakers continue to assess their defensive performance.
