Dončić's Triple-Double Leads Lakers Past Heat

Luka Dončić produced a 29-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist triple-double as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Miami Heat 130-120, extending L.A.'s win streak to three under coach JJ Redick. Dončić's performance was his 83rd career triple-double and pushed him to 165 points in the first four games of the 2025-26 season, a Lakers franchise record that surpassed Jerry West. Austin Reaves added 26 points and 11 assists while reserve Jake LaRavia scored 25 off the bench as the Lakers shot 50.5%. LeBron James remained sidelined with right-side sciatica, and Miami received a career-high 31 points off the bench from Jaime Jaquez Jr., but 16 Heat turnovers and timely Lakers runs decided the game. Los Angeles now prepares for a road rematch at Portland, which beat the Lakers a week earlier.
