Shrugging off the occasional jitters, JJ Redick’s team is making a strong case for themselves. In their recent outing against the Timberwolves, the Lakers once again came out victorious with a 111-103 victory. While this win put them back in the 4th position in the West. However, apart from the win, the likes of LeBron James, Austin Reaves, and Luka Doncic have achieved a rare record.

Chipping in with valuable contributions, James dropped 33 points, 17 rebounds, and six assists. Giving him apt company was Luka Doncic, who came up with 21 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists. Lastly, to put the cherry on top, Reaves also made his impact by adding 23 points, six rebounds, and five assists.

Well, all these stats surely look pretty rosy. But the joy of the Lakers’ fans just doubled. This was the very first time since 1988 that a Lakers trio had scored 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists each in a single game. Now, that’s some statement from the purple and gold brigade! Meanwhile, these were not the only fascinating stats about the Los Angeles Lakers that came up recently. Another stat suggested that Luka Doncic and LeBron James might have been destined to play together.

Luka Doncic’s blockbuster trade was pretty shocking. Even Doncic himself confessed that he had no idea about getting traded to the Purple and Gold brigade. However, an interesting bit of news has emerged that indicates that Doncic might have been destined to team up with King James.

Clutchpoints recently shared the fact that over the first 427 games, both Luka Doncic and LeBron James share striking similarities. Both players have 243 wins and 184 losses! Adding further to the intrigue, both James and Doncic have averaged 27 points per game, seven rebounds, and seven assists in their careers!

Thus, it is evident that everything points to Luka Doncic achieving immense success at the Los Angeles Lakers. However, whether he can keep up with the good work will be interesting to watch out for.
