The Lakers continued to roll on Wednesday night, beating the Pacers 137-130. The victory moved Los Angeles to 47–26 on the season and tightened its grip on the third seed in the West. It can also be remembered as the night Luka Dončić’s heater officially reached Michael Jordan territory.
Dončić has been absolutely electric for several weeks now, loudly announcing his presence in the MVP conversation by putting up massive scoring numbers while leading the Lakers to a tremendous stretch of winning basketball. That continued on Wednesday as the Slovenian superstar dropped 43 points on 15-for-30 shooting against Indiana.
