Los Angeles Lakers are doing great these days and they are led by Luka Doncic and his brilliant play. In their latest win against the Miami Heat, Doncic finished with 60 points, and it looked like he accomplished it with ease. His 60th point did not come until 14.8 seconds remained in the game when he was at the free-throw line.
The last time a Lakers player scored 60 points was Kobe Bryant in his last game, and funnily enough, he also scored his 60th point at the free-throw line with 14.8 seconds left.

It’s always nice when you’re in the same company with Bryant, and few players have had that honor over the past two weeks. As long as Doncic is on the Lakers, there’s a good chance for him to be in the same conversation as Bryant for some stats that no one except ESPN knows about.
Doncic has been in scoring position the last few games, and it has lifted the Lakers up and separated them from other teams in the Western Conference. Whether it’s a high-scoring game or a game-winner, Doncic has come through for the Lakers in what has possibly been their most important stretch of the season.
If he continues to play like this, it will help the team make more room among the others trying to reach the No. 3 seed. They are currently 45-25 and have a two-game lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are the No. 4 seed.
There’s no doubt that Doncic and the Lakers are moving at the right time, and they could be a team that many will want to avoid when the playoffs arrive. In the last two seasons they were eliminated in the first round, but things could be different this season.
