Luka Doncic had another great performance on Tuesday in the LA Lakers' 94-85 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of their first-round series. Doncic made light work of four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, with one play making Jack Black excited.

Doncic had Gobert on a mismatch atop the key in the second quarter when he made several dribble moves before hitting a one-handed fadeaway floater over the Frenchman.

After making the basket, the broadcast shifted to the fans. The camera caught a glimpse of "Minecraft" actor Jack Black pumped up by the play.

Black, who has a net worth of $50 million (per Celebrity Net Worth), even jumped out of his seat and high-fived a fellow fan courtside.

Jack Black is a huge fan of the LA Lakers and was in attendance for Game 1. That contest didn't end well for LA, which lost 117-95.

With all the pressure on the Lakers heading into Game 2, Luka Doncic had another magnificent showing. Doncic finished with a game-high 31 points plus 12 rebounds and nine assists. LeBron James also came up huge for the Lakers, contributing 21 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.

As for Rudy Gobert, he was targeted multiple times by the Lakers offense. He was limited to just 28 minutes. He had six points, six rebounds and two steals. He may have played fewer minutes if Naz Reid hadn't been in foul trouble.

Rudy Gobert received a lot of criticism when Luka Doncic made him spin en route to hitting a game-winning 3-point shot in last year's Western Conference Finals. However, Doncic has no ill will towards Gobert, whom he praised ahead of Game 2.

"I think he's a great defender," Doncic told ESPN's Malika Andrews. "No matter who it is, I just like to go against centers. When you got to go against the best, you got to be at the top, so that's what I'm trying to do."

Game 3 of the first-round series between the Lakers and Timberwolves is scheduled on Friday at 8:30 p.m. tipoff.
