Detailed summary

Luka Dončić recorded a season-high 53 points in the Lakers’ 124-118 comeback win over the Trail Blazers on Friday night in Los Angeles.

For nearly 24 minutes on Friday night, the Lakers struggled with nearly every shot they got beyond the 3-point arc.

But Luka Dončić ended the first half by making the toughest look of them all, which ended up sparking his team’s 124-118 comeback win over the Trail Blazers at Crypto.com Arena to continue his historic start of the season.

Dončić recorded a season-high 53 points, to go along with five assists and five rebounds, for his seventh-straight game scoring at least 35 points and his fourth straight game scoring at least 40 points.

It was the league’s leading scorer’s second 50-point game of the season after he scored 52 points in the Oct. 25 road win over the Jazz.
