Luka Dončić posts Lakers’ first 60-point game since Kobe Bryant’s final game

Last Thursday, Luka Dončić posted his first 50-point game with the Los Angeles Lakers. This Thursday, he went a step further.

The Slovenian star posted 60 points in a 134-126 win over the Miami Heat, the highest scoring total of his Lakers career and tied for the second-highest mark of his career. It’s also the most points a Laker has scored in a single game since Kobe Bryant’s 60 in the final game of his career.

The last Laker to score more than 60 points was Bryant in 2008-09.

Between Thursday and Dončić’s 40 points in the first night of the back-to-back, he posted 100 points in the span of 25 hours. He has averaged 40.9 points in his past eight games.

This win is the Lakers’ eighth straight, which improves their record to 45-25, still good for third in the Western Conference.
