A combination without precedent
The NBA identified Doncic as the first player with at least 45 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, five steals and five three-pointers in one game. His actual assists and three-point totals exceeded the minimums in that historical description.
Scottie Barnes scored 29 for Toronto, but the Lakers improved to 5–2. These are game statistics, distinct from fantasy-basketball figures appearing elsewhere in the same newsletter.
