Doncic's 49 lifts Lakers, shatters two-game franchise record

Behind Luka Doncic’s 49 points, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 128-110, rebounding from their opener with sharper shooting and fewer turnovers. Doncic has 92 points through two games, shattering Jerry West’s 56-year franchise mark and becoming the first Laker to start a season with back-to-back 40-point games, a feat matched only by Anthony Davis, Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. He added 11 rebounds and eight assists; Austin Reaves had 25 and 11. Coach JJ Redick even tried to spring Doncic to 50 before subbing him out at 49 as L.A. controlled the middle quarters and won the third.
