SACRAMENTO -- By dropping another 40 points Wednesday night, Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic joined Kobe Bryant and Elgin Baylor as the only Lakers to ever score 35-plus points in six straight games.
In the aftermath of the 116-103 road win over the Sacramento Kings, Lakers coach JJ Redick said this is "probably" the hottest stretch of basketball he can remember from Doncic.
"This and March," Redick said. "The entire month of March last year."
Last season, in 16 March games, Doncic averaged 37.5 points on 49.2% shooting overall and 39.2% from 3 on 12.
