And it centered around the brilliance of Doncic, his triple-double of 37 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds the catalyst for the Lakers winning for the fifth time in their last seven games. He was efficient with his play, too, shooting 13 for 21 from the field and 6 for 13 from 3-point range. Ayton was a tower of strength with 28 points on 12-for-14 shooting, 13 rebounds, three blocked shots and three assists. Though Austin Reaves (left calf strain) had been upgraded from out to questionable for the game against the Wizards, the Lakers guard did not play. The Lakers play again Sunday at the New York Knicks.
