With the anticipation building for tonight’s game, many are wondering if it might feel like a shot at redemption for Doncic. However, Christie has a different perspective. He sees it as a “homecoming game” and is eager for the experience. “I’m not approaching this as a ‘revenge game,'” Christie explained. “I’m genuinely excited because it gives me the chance to reunite with former teammates, coaches, and colleagues. I’m going into it with the intention of enjoying the game to the fullest. Of course, I want to win. The Lakers are a formidable playoff team. They’re really strong, and this game presents a great challenge for us to tackle head-on as a unit.” (Source: Andscape, February 25, 2025)
