Luka Doncic dominated the court, scoring a triple-double in just 20 minutes of play as the Los Angeles Lakers trounced the Washington Wizards 142-111 on Friday. The 26-year-old sensation continued to prove his worth, despite taking an accidental tumble off Cleveland's elevated court in a previous game.
In this latest display of brilliance, Doncic led by example with 26 points at the half-time mark, while also contributing six rebounds and five assists. He was well-supported by teammate Deandre Ayton, who chipped in with 28 points and 13 rebounds, and LeBron James, who grabbed 20 points and six assists.
The Lakers' high-scoring performance marked their second-highest of the season, with Doncic's impressive outing a major factor in the team's dominance. The Wizards, meanwhile, suffered their third straight loss after previously beating the Portland Trail Blazers and Milwaukee Bucks.
For the Lakers, this victory provided a welcome boost ahead of their next matchup against the New York Knicks on Monday. In contrast, the Wizards will look to bounce back from this defeat when they face off against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

he was only playing 20 mins and still managed to rack up a triple double lol what's next gonna be someone scoring 50 points in like 10 mins? its not fair to the rest of the team that relies on him so much, deandre ayton and lebron james were straight fire tho 
anyway, the Lakers are on fire but the Wizards are 0-3 since their only win which is kinda sketchy...
. Wizards need to figure out their game plan ASAP or else they'll keep losing 
He's like a superhero out there! I don't know what he does in those 20 minutes, but it's pure magic. And Deandre Ayton and LeBron James are solid teammates too, they complement each other so well.
.
. i'm low-key hyped for the lakers next game against the knicks, they need a win badly 
. the wiz are having a rough stretch, gotta get their act together 
.
. The Lakers' team effort was incredible, but Doncic's dominance was the real showstopper. The Wizards, on the other hand, just can't seem to get it together right now - three losses in a row is no joke 
. Can't wait to see how they bounce back from this one... might be tough for them vs the Sacramento Kings on Sunday 
they got this crazy special sauce that's literally life changing 
. It's like, what's the point of having a superstar if they're not gonna share the spotlight? The Wizards need to figure out how to develop their players beyond just relying on one guy to carry them. And let's be real, if they can't beat the Knicks without Doncic lighting it up, they might as well start losing all the time 
he's literally unstoppable! 
that triple-double in just 20 mins is insane 
. i'm loving how he's proving people wrong after that fall
