Luka Doncic joins Lakers legends in historic scoring feat
Big night in Houston and a milestone
Luka Dončić kept rolling with another huge performance, leading his team to a 100–92 road win over the Houston Rockets. He finished with 36 points (14/27 FG, 4/12 3‑pointers), 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and the victory extended his club’s winning streak to six games.
Beyond the box score, Dončić hit a notable milestone: he joined Kobe Bryant, Elgin Baylor and Jerry West on the short list of players who’ve recorded 25 or more games of 35+ points in a single season. It’s another reminder of how prolific he’s been all year.
Where this season stands
Dončić is pacing the league in scoring this season, averaging 32.9 points along with 7.9 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game. His scoring surge has been the driving force behind his team’s strong position in the Western Conference — the latest win pushed them further up the standings, and the streak has given the roster extra momentum heading into the stretch run.
The Houston game was one more example of Dončić’s ability to take over when it matters: efficient shooting, playmaking for teammates and steady rebounding. If he keeps this form up, nights like this will keep piling up.
