Summary
308 points through eight games put Luka Dončić in Michael Jordan territory, and his 40-point night drove the Lakers past Sacramento 116-103 for a third straight win.
40-plus points for the fifth time in six games has fueled a blistering stretch in which Dončić is averaging 42.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists.
Six straight games with at least 35 points, five rebounds and five assists gave Dončić the longest such streak in NBA history, passing Damian Lillard.
Los Angeles is leaning into that surge: coach JJ Redick said Dončić's shot-making flipped a tie game into a double-digit lead and lifted the whole team.
