The Lakers defeated the Hornets 121-111. After the game, Doncic accepted an interview with the media.
Talking about Hachimura, Doncic said: "He helped us win the game with his performance. His role was huge. Perhaps like in the game against the Hawks, his contribution was seriously underestimated. Although no one discusses him, every victory we win is inseparable from his contribution."
"He is of great significance to the team, and his stable output in every game has benefited us a lot." Doncic said.
Hachimura played 35 minutes and 36 seconds today, making 9 of 12 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
