Less than 24 hours after his 40-point explosion to lead the Lakers' second consecutive win over the Houston Rockets, the Slovenian superstar went ballistic again on Thursday in Miami.
Doncic led the way for the Lakers' 134-126 huge win over the Heat, finishing with a ridiculous 60 points in 18-of-30 shooting (9-of-17 from three) with seven rebounds, five steals and three assists.
Setting his new best scoring game as a Laker, Doncic's 60-point masterpiece is also the highest the franchise has ever seen since the late great Kobe Bryant's farewell game in 2016.
Doncic has been on a sensational roll. Leading the Lakers to eight consecutive wins and an improved 45-25 record, he is actually averaging a staggering 40.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists.
Should he maintain his red-hot shooting and help the Lakers continue their winning momentum in the critical final leg of the regular season, the league MVP award is basically there for Doncic to grab.
