On Saturday night, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Chicago Bulls (in California) by a score of 146-115.

Luka Doncic finished the loss with 34 points, eight rebounds and six assists while shooting 10/18 from the field in 32 minutes.

However, the superstar forward had seven turnovers.

After the game, Doncic was very honest when he met with the media.

Doncic: "I think they scored a lot of transition points, especially off my turnovers, so gotta do that better. It's on me. I can't be losing the ball seven times. That's way too many for me."

Doncic had gotten off to an incredible start to the game in the first half.
