LUKA, LAKERS LIGHT UP MARCH: The Los Angeles Lakers last night clinched a spot in the NBA Playoffs presented by Google, completed their winningest month (15-2) since 2000 and secured their second 50-win season in a row. Luka Dončić scored 42 points in the win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking his third consecutive 40-point game and career-high 13th straight 30-point game. His 600 points in March were the most by a Laker in a calendar month since Jerry West in 1965. The 27-year-old guard also became the third-youngest player to reach 15,000 career points, trailing only LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
