Luka Doncic and Kobe Bryant share an eerie detail about 60-point game

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Dončić recorded his first 60-point game in franchise history during a victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday night. Dončić, who has scored 100 points across his past two games and is averaging 40. 9 points per game across eight consecutive wins since March 6, is playing particularly well right now.

He recorded his 60th point of the night on a free throw with 14. 8 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. While that may seem like an inconsequential fact, it is particularly fascinating to people who root for the Lakers.

Kobe and Luka both hit their 60th point with 14. 8 left in the 4th 🤯 https://t. co/EiUVwJuF2a pic.

Last night, when Dončić recorded his 60th point, it was in the same way at the charity and with the same amount of time remaining that Bryant did during his on-court finale.
