Luka Dončić put on another show under the bright lights of L.A., dropping 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists to power the Lakers past the high-flying Miami Heat on Sunday.

It was Dončić’s 83rd career triple-double, placing him alongside Wilt Chamberlain in NBA history. His 165 points through four games are also the most since Chamberlain’s legendary 1962-63 start.

Austin Reaves added 26 points and 11 assists, while Jake LaRavia poured in 25 as the Lakers shot a blistering 50.5% from the field. Jaime Jaquez Jr. led the Heat with 31 off the bench, but Miami’s explosive offense fell short in a 125-113 loss.

Booker, Brunson, and Maxey Dominate the Night

In Phoenix, Devin Booker posted 28 points and 13 assists as the Suns dismantled the Spurs 131-118, handing rookie Victor Wembanyama his first career loss. Wemby managed just nine points and six turnovers as Phoenix built a 31-point cushion.

In New York, Jalen Brunson erupted for 31 points, including 19 in the first quarter, to snap the Knicks’ three-game skid and halt Chicago’s unbeaten start. The Knicks rained down 20 threes in a 128-116 win, while Josh Giddey’s triple-double (23-12-12) went in vain for the Bulls.

76ers, Thunder, and Raptors Keep Rolling

Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 29 points before leaving with a sprained ankle as the 76ers cruised past winless Brooklyn 129-105. Tyrese Maxey added 26, while Philly rested Joel Embiid and still shot 52%.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stayed red-hot, tallying 30 points as the Thunder moved to 7-0, matching Oscar Robertson with his 79th straight 20-point game — a streak surpassed only by Chamberlain.

In Toronto, RJ Barrett’s 27 led the Raptors past Memphis 117-104, while Scottie Barnes stuffed the stat sheet with 19 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists, and five blocks.

Elsewhere, Miles Bridges (29 points) and the Hornets snapped a skid with a 126-103 win over Utah, and Donovan Mitchell torched Atlanta for 37 points in Cleveland’s 117-109 victory.
