Last Thursday, Luka Dončić posted his first 50-point game with the Los Angeles Lakers. This Thursday, he went a step further.

The Slovenian star posted 60 points in a 134-126 win over the Miami Heat, the highest scoring total of his Lakers career and tied for the second-highest mark of his career. It’s also the Lakers’ first 60-point game since Kobe Bryant’s legendary ‘Mamba Out’ farewell game in 2016.

The last Laker to score more than 60 points was Bryant with 61 on Feb. 2, 2009.
