Luka Doncic led the Los Angeles Lakers to a season-high 60 points in a 134-126 victory over the Heat, a significant victory for the team. The Lakers came back from a 15-point deficit to win, a feat that was a testament to their coach JJ Redick's collective team buy-in. Donic also had one of his best games of the season, scoring 18 of 30 from the field, including a fadeaway 3-pointer with just over a minute left that put the Lakers up 129-121 and put him at 58 points. LeBron James finished with a 19-point, 15-rebound, 10-assist triple-double, marking his 124th career. The win keeps the Lakers on their season-best eight-game winning streak.
