Literally career extending stuff.”

Skip Bayless: “Man, Luka just banged the back of his head on the floor. But looks like he has shaken it off. Back-to-back way-downtown 3s, followed by a corner 3. This game vs sorry Pels is already over.”

Mike Trudell: “Doncic just joined West (9x), Magic (22x) and LeBron (1x) as the only players in team history with 30 points and 15 assists in a game.
He and LeBron (vs. DAL, Nov. 2019) are the only Lakers in the last 35 years to hit those marks. Luka also had 30-15 for DAL in that game.”
