Luka Doncic drops Alperen Sengun with step back in Rockets-Lakers

Luka Doncic sent Alperen Sengun to the hardwood with a sweet step back late in the second quarter on Monday.

The Los Angeles Lakers guard took one dribble to his left at the top of the key, then stepped back with a dribble between his legs. Doncic watched as the Houston Rockets center went crashing to the floor before Sengun recovered to contest a potential 3-pointer.

However, Doncic opted to drive and kick to Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith, who connected on a corner 3-pointer.

Doncic had 15 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds in the first half against the Rockets.
