Midway through the NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers made global headlines by pulling off a blockbuster trade to acquire Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks. And after a somewhat uncertain start, Doncic has proven why he’s not only one of the NBA’s top stars, but one of the biggest names in global basketball.
The Lakers are currently battling the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs. In Game 2 of this heated series, Doncic broke a personal record that now places him among the greatest players in league history.
Luka Doncic Gets Left Hanging by Austin Reaves After Lakers’ Win
In that game, Doncic delivered an outstanding performance with 31 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists-numbers that saw him surpass several legendary figures, including his own teammate, LeBron James.
Luka Doncic’s Record
In his playoff career, Doncic has now scored 27 or more points in 14 straight games. This achievement ties him for the third-longest such streak in NBA history, alongside legend Wilt Chamberlain-and puts him ahead of LeBron James. The only players ahead of him now are Elgin Baylor and Michael Jordan.
Doncic has firmly established himself as the driving force behind the Lakers this postseason since his arrival in Los Angeles. Despite a stellar 37-point performance in Game 1, his efforts weren’t enough to secure the win. But in Game 2, he set the tone early, posting 22 points, five rebounds, and five assists in the first half alone-guiding the team to a crucial victory.
LeBron James, now 40 years old, also bounced back after a sluggish Game 1. He contributed significantly in Game 2, tallying 21 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists-proving he still has plenty to offer when it matters most.
As the series shifts to Minnesota for Game 3 on Friday, Doncic’s role will once again be critical. If the Lakers hope to make a deep playoff run, they’ll continue to lean heavily on their newest superstar.

Patriots finally add offensive explosiveness in Henderson, Williams on Day 2 of NFL Draft
Three days after Christmas last year, the New England Patriots hosted the Los Angeles Chargers in a nationally televised contest, hopeful to showcase their promising rookie quarterback, Drake Maye.Instead, the Patriots totaled just 181 yards of offense and 11 first downs. They were completely outmanned in a 40-7 loss that displayed their lack of game-breaking talent on offense.So on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday night, a new-look regime continued to spend its most valuable draft picks in support of Maye, this time with one theme in mind: explosiveness.In recent years, so much had to go right for the Patriots offense to find success. A single penalty felt like a drive crusher because they had no players who seemed capable of making a chunk play. No one could get them out of a hole if they got […]
Steelers still hope to add Aaron Rodgers, might draft developmental QB, owner says
The Pittsburgh Steelers are still optimistic free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers will join the team soon, president and owner Art Rooney said Friday, as the 2025 NFL Draft continued and the team declined to take a quarterback through the first three rounds.Speaking on Steelers Nation Radio midway through Day 2 — before the team’s pick at No. 83 in the third round — Rooney also said the team’s pursuit of Rodgers had not materially affected its approach in the draft, but that the team could still draft a quarterback. After Rooney spoke, Pittsburgh passed on Shedeur Sanders (and other available QBs) at No. 83, instead taking running back Kaleb Johnson.Advertisement“We really did not factor whether Aaron is coming or not into that,” Rooney said. “If we draft a quarterback — and we still might — it’s probably not someone who’s going […]
NBA playoffs: Timberwolves survive 38-point night from LeBron James to take 2-1 lead
They had to survive a night of LeBron James Classic, but the Minnesota Timberwolves have a 2-1 lead in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers.After allowing the Lakers to tie the game in a Game 2 rock fight, Minnesota survived an up-and-down game for a 116-104 win in Game 3 behind 30 points from Jaden McDaniels and 29 points from Anthony Edwards. Game 4 is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday at the Target Center.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Lakers were playing with Luka Dončić reportedly limited by a stomach bug.

He posted 38 points points, an NBA record for playoff scoring among players older […]
NFL Draft best available players for Cleveland Browns: Cameron Williams, Jalen Royals
The heaviest lifting is probably done. The Cleveland Browns’ future-focused 2025 draft started with a trade that gave them Jacksonville’s 2026 first-round pick and moved them down to No. 5, where they picked Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham.But the Browns are still looking to add depth and talent to their roster, and they still need to add young players to their offensive line. They’re likely to look for help at wide receiver and safety, too, though the Cleveland draft has brought multiple surprises thus far. No one predicted that diminutive quarterback Dillon Gabriel would go in the top 100 picks, but the Browns selected the Oregon passer at No. 94 Friday night.AdvertisementThe Browns currently have three picks on Saturday: 126 in the fourth round, 166 in the fifth and 192 in the sixth. They were slated to have five Saturday […]

Can Seahawks turn dynamic QB Jalen Milroe into the next dual-threat star?
Eric Williams NFL Reporter <!--> Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider said at the NFL Scouting Combine that at some point the draft board would fall his way, creating the right time for his franchise to select a quarterback.During his 15 years as Seattle’s top personal man, Schneider had taken a QB just twice: Russell Wilson in the third round of the 2012 draft and Alex McGough in the seventh round of the 2018 draft.Well, on Friday night, Schneider made it a third time, selecting Alabama product Jalen Milroe with the No. 92 overall selection in the third round. An athletic dynamo who needs seasoning as a thrower, Milroe’s electric ability as a runner likely reminds Seattle head coach Mike Macdonald of his time with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson when Macdonald was the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens.Milroe, the fourth […]
