Luka Dončić accomplished something special with the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.
The star guard posted his first 50-point game with the franchise more than a year after the trade that landed him in Los Angeles, with 51 points on 17-of-31 shooting plus 10 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals against the Chicago Bulls. And 8-of-9 on free throws, because that matters now.
Overall, it’s Dončić’s eighth career 50-point game and first since the 2023-24 season, when he scored 73. Before Thursday, his scoring high with the Lakers was 49 points on Oct. 24.
