Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg said he lost all respect for Luka Doncic in his first NBA game, accusing him of complaining the entire game. Lendeborg said he told Doncic he "sucks" and "can't score on me," and picked up a technical foul before halftime. Doncic led the Lakers with 28 points in a 127-105 win and said the trash talk changed his approach.

"Everybody knows when somebody starts talking, you get a different me. So that was it." - Luka Doncic
