Luka Doncic: "You see everybody celebrating on the bench, it's like, it shows that we care a lot about each other. And that's what great teams do. Just makes my heart happy seeing them celebrate my 60-point game"

"It sells papers a lot easier -- and clippings and podcasts -- if you say, 'LeBron, the team is better off without him.' A lot of people will try to like view it. So, I get it. ... They're absolutely wrong." - LeBron after 49 pts on 21-for-26 FGs and going 2-0 in last 24 hours

JJ Redick on Luka Doncic: “His teammates are enjoying it just as much as him right now … This is a special run he’s on”

@ye0742 AD’s career high with the Lakers was 55 against WAS

@mcten AD didn’t have 60?

The first 60-point game for a Laker since Kobe Bryant's brilliant "Mamba Out" finale.

Game respect game: Luka Doncic greeted Carlos Alcaraz after his 60-piece tonight

@SoCalJoeyG Tell that to The Chief.

@mcten Actually, the real record is held by AC Green and it is consecutive games played.

New story: “If anyone is deserving of breaking the ironman record, I would say LeBron James is," Robert Parish told ESPN on Thursday, as James tied him for the all-time games played mark with 1,611 espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

Luka Doncic exploded for 19 pts in the 3rd Q to give him 40 pts heading into the 4th. It’s his second straight 40-point game and his 4th in the last eight games during L.A.’s win streak.

A night after shooting 13-for-14 in HOU, he’s 7-for-7 to start tonight in MIA.

Luka Doncic started off the 3rd Q going 3-for-3 from 3 and the Lakers have taken their first lead of the game, 72-71

The Lakers shook off a lackadaisical start to go into the half down 65-59 to the Heat. Luka 21 pts on 7-of-14 shooting; LeBron 11 pts on 5-of-5; Reaves 6 pts on 2-of-7.

Starters for Lakers-Heat tonight

Reaves will also play, per the Lakers.

JJ Redick says LeBron James and Luka Doncic will play tonight in Miami. Austin Reaves remains a gametime decision.

There’s question if LeBron James will play tonight vs the Heat, but he was the first person off the first bus to arrive.
