Yaxel Lendeborg admits he wet the bed against Luka Doncic

SAN FRANCISCO — It took less than a minute Friday night for the chants to start.Lu-ka sucks! Lu-ka sucks! Lu-ka sucks!Anytime Luka Doncic touched the ball, boos rained down from the rafters inside Chase Center, a response to the villain created on Opening Night with his spat with Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg. Some 48 minutes later, however, it was Doncic’s newly minted archrival who felt like the boos should have been directed his way after, as he put it, “the worst game of my life.”Hyperbole or not, the highly anticipated rematch with Doncic and the Lakers was without a doubt the worst game of Lendeborg’s young NBA career — six games into it.A few days earlier, Lendeborg said he was “absolutely” looking forward to seeing Doncic again, after culminating their back-and-forth Oct.21 by saying he “lost all respect” for him.When it came time to back up those words, he got absolutely pulverized.“He’s a really confident guy,” coach Steve Kerr said of Lendeborg.
