Luka Doncic put on a show in the Lakers’ 136-115 victory over the Pelicans, delivering a stunning sequence of three straight three-pointers.
His sharpshooting display not only fueled the Lakers’ momentum but also highlighted his confidence and swagger on the court.
A Shooting Masterclass in Los Angeles
It all started with his first deep three, which extended his streak to 101 consecutive games with a made three-pointer, the fifth-longest streak in NBA history.
His second three came from near midcourt, prompting even more excitement. “That was right near the ‘R’ at the logo,” the announcer noted, emphasizing just how deep Luka was pulling up from.
Then came the third straight triple, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
“He’s starting to feel good. He’s really playing to the crowd,” the commentator added, capturing the electric atmosphere. Feeding off the moment, Doncic danced in front of the fans, fully embracing the energy in the building.
A Night of Milestones for the Lakers
Doncic’s 30-point, 15-assist performance placed him alongside LeBron James, Magic Johnson, and Jerry West as one of the few Lakers to ever hit that stat line. More importantly, his dominant play helped extend the Lakers’ winning streak to seven games—their longest in four years.
Adding to the historic night, LeBron James made NBA history by surpassing 50,000 career points, further cementing his legacy. At 40 years old, LeBron continues to play at an elite level, and his milestone added even more significance to an already electric night at Crypto.com Arena.
With Doncic and LeBron leading the charge, the Lakers have surged to second place in the Western Conference (39-21 record).
If this performance is any indication, the Doncic-LeBron duo is just getting started, and Lakers fans can expect many more unforgettable moments as the season continues.
