Luka Doncic Does Something No Lakers Player Has Done Since Kobe Bryant

On Monday night, Luka Doncic helped lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 104-98 victory over the Houston Rockets.
The five-time NBA All-Star has now played his first full month with the Lakers (after the trade in February).
Doncic had a fantastic month, as he made Lakers history not seen since Kobe Bryant.

The Lakers are also the fourth seed in the Western Conference with a 46-29 record in 75 games.
They are in the middle of a two-game winning streak (and just 2.5 games back of the Rockets for the second seed).
On Thursday night, the Lakers will resume action with a major showdown against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors (at home).
