Luka Doncic had 42 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds in another spectacular early-season performance, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 138-117 victory over the Miami Heat on Monday night.
Doncic scored at least 37 points in his fifth consecutive game, hitting six 3-pointers and showing off his playmaking skill just one night after he had 45 points and 15 assists in a win over Toronto.
Austin Reaves scored 27 points and Walker Kessler added 15 points and 15 rebounds for the Lakers. Los Angeles is 6-2 after the fourth 40-point performance in his last five games from Doncic, who is averaging 43.4 points per game in that stretch.
