11月3日，24直播网报道，著名播报人Rachel Nichols在《体育画报》的《The Story》环节中，深入探讨了洛杉矶湖人队球星东契奇在本赛季防守表现上的显著转变。
Rachel Nichols强调道：“Throughout my tenure on air, I've consistently lauded Luka Doncic's defensive prowess in the postseason. It's evident that when the stakes are high, he often delivers a level of dedication and focus that is unmistakable on both offense and defense. However, for years, I've yearned for the postseason version of Doncic to manifest itself in November. And so far this season, he has indeed delivered.”
在讨论湖人队与猛龙队的过往交锋时，Rachel Nichols提到了东契奇在那场比赛中创下的辉煌表现——45分的高分，这已是他连续四场比赛中的第三次突破40分大关。然而，她强调指出，对她而言，更为关键的统计数据是来自于球场另一侧的表现。东契奇共摘得15个篮板，全为防守篮板，同时贡献了5次抢断和3次进攻犯规。自十多年前联盟开始记录此类数据以来，未曾有任何球员能在一场比赛中同时实现5次抢断和制造3次进攻犯规的双重壮举。换言之，东契奇独自一人就让猛龙队失误了8次。
