Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers had another great performance on Tuesday night, helping his team beat the New Orleans Pelicans 136-115.
Doncic was massively important throughout the game and ended up posting 30 points, eight rebounds, and 15 assists.
According to NBA History, Doncic became just the fourth player in Lakers history to record 30+ points and 15+ assists in a game.
He joins Magic Johnson, who did it 16 times, Jerry West (six times), and LeBron James (once).
Additionally, Doncic also became the first player in Lakers history to do this with more than five three-pointers.
Doncic scored six three-pointers in Tuesday’s game.

There was no doubt that Doncic would be a huge help to the Lakers offense when he joined the team.
Although he is still finding his footing, Doncic is currently averaging 22.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game.
Before he left the Dallas Mavericks last month, he was averaging 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.8 assists.
The combination of Doncic and James has been sensational and they look like the best duo in the Western Conference right now.
The Lakers have been steadily climbing in their conference and are now the second-best team in the West.
Can they keep it up?
It seems possible if Doncic keeps scoring and assisting like this and continues to get more comfortable in Los Angeles.
After just several weeks, he has already earned his spot in Lakers history, so what can he do after a few years?
Fans are hoping that this is the last team Doncic ever plays for, so this won’t be the only time he makes history.
