Luka Dončić Scores 60, LeBron James Records Triple-Double as Lakers Win 8th Straight in Miami

Pulling this off on the second night of a road back-to-back after a pre-dawn arrival underscored the Lakers’ growing resilience.

Overview

  • Dončić poured in 60 points on 18-of-30 shooting with 9-of-17 from three and five steals as Los Angeles beat Miami 134-126 after trailing by as many as 15.
  • James finished with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists and, in his 1,611th game, tied Robert Parish for the most regular-season appearances in NBA history.
  • The victory pushed the Lakers to 45-25 and a season-best eight-game winning streak, holding third place in the Western Conference.
  • According to Stathead, Dončić became the first NBA player to record at least 60 points, nine made three-pointers and five steals in a single game.
  • Dončić also broke the Lakers’ single-season three-point record, and the team delivered despite arriving around dawn and having multiple starters listed as questionable.
