Los Angeles — Luka Doncic erupted for a season-best 51 points on March 13, lifting the Los Angeles Lakers to a victory over the Chicago Bulls.
The All-Star guard set the tone early and never cooled off, reaching the 50-point mark for the first time this season. His outburst provided all the separation Los Angeles required to secure the win.
Doncic’s 51 points marked the highest single-game total by any Laker this season and underscored his role as the focal point of the offense. The performance surpassed his previous 2025-26 high and kept the Lakers on track in the Western Conference race.
No additional scoring details were immediately available, but Doncic’s headline night proved decisive against a Bulls squad that could not match his output.
The matchup was played as part of the NBA’s regular-season schedule.
