WASHINGTON — Luka Doncic authored a night for the record books on Friday, steering the Los Angeles Lakers to a 142-111 victory over the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena.
The star guard’s “historic” display — details of which were not immediately specified by the team — fueled a wire-to-wire Lakers win in the nation’s capital. Los Angeles built a double-digit cushion early and never looked back, closing out the high-scoring contest with a 31-point margin.
The matchup, played on Jan. 30, 2026, marked the Lakers’ latest offensive outburst and kept the Wizards on the back foot throughout the evening. Washington struggled to slow Doncic and a balanced Los Angeles attack that eclipsed the 140-point mark for the second time this season.
The victory improved the Lakers’ record on the year, while the Wizards were left searching for answers after surrendering their highest point total of the campaign.
