Luka Doncic shoulder shimmied his way into the record books again as he became the first Laker to begin a season with consecutive 40-point performances Friday with 49 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in the Lakers’ 128-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
After pouring in 43 points in Tuesday’s season opener, Doncic became the fourth player in NBA history to score 40 points in back-to-back games at the beginning of the season, joining Anthony Davis, Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
But when asked about his personal feelings on his blazing start, Doncic was quick to mention that he wished the Lakers had won the first game.
