Knecht’s Homecoming Hoopla Shakes Denver…
Dalton Knecht, the Lakers’ rookie sensation, took a Thanksgiving-sized bite out of the Nuggets and still found time to wave at Mom. Feeling right at home in Denver’s chilly air, Knecht managed to sizzle on court with 32 blistering points. “Feels great to be home, and I’m not just talking about the altitude,” chuckled Knecht, who played high school ball in Colorado. Not even the absence of LeBron James or Luka Doncic could stop this sharpshooting show-off.
Knecht swapped dunks and threes like Pokémon cards, making the Denver defense wish they’d worn their running shoes. Despite the Lakers resting many regulars and jet-lag-induced yawns, they nearly tiptoed away with the win, falling just short, 131-126. “We just went out there, played like it was gym class, and had fun,” Knecht said, stating it was a monster learning experience, despite the defeat.
Austin Reaves, Knecht’s co-pilot for the game, agreed they epic battled the Nuggets. “Toe-to-toe, baby!” he exclaimed, likely slipping on his dance shoes for future games. Lakers fans can breathe easy, knowing that Knecht’s fiery form with the basketball is poised to light up the rest of the season.
