Mandatory Credit: Brad Mills-Imagn Images <\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\nLuka Doncic punctuated his sixth triple-double of the season with 37 points, leading three Los Angeles scorers with at least 20 points as the Lakers rolled past the Washington Wizards, 142-111, on Friday in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Doncic showed no ill effects from the injury he sustained when falling off Cleveland’s elevated court on Wednesday, reaching a triple-double by halftime with 26 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. The point guard finished with 13 assists and 11 boards and also added three steals.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n With Doncic setting the tone, Los Angeles quickly took control of the game, going on a 9-0 run midway through the first quarter to lead 20-11. That early burst gave the Lakers a lead they never lost, and they continued to build on it for the next 40-plus minutes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Deandre Ayton posted a double-double of his own with 28 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, while LeBron James chipped in 20 points and six assists.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Each of the trio shot at least 50 percent from the floor to power the Lakers to a torrid 52-of-85 (61.2%) field-goal shooting as a team.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n The prolific offensive attack led Los Angeles to its second-highest scoring performance of the season, just one game after the Lakers experienced their most lopsided defeat of the campaign by 30 points.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n For Washington, Friday’s blowout denied it in its season-long quest to string together three straight wins. The Wizards came in with back-to-back victories over Portland and Milwaukee, but they had no answer for the initial Los Angeles onslaught.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n A 20-9 run in the second quarter extinguished any hope of a Washington rally, as the Lakers pushed their 17-point advantage to 28. The gap grew to as many as 38 points in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n While Los Angeles had three players score at least 20 points, no Wizard surpassed Malaki Branham’s 17 points off the bench. Twelve of those came from his 4-for-7 shooting from deep, while fellow reserve Will Riley added another 3-for-7 from long distance on his way to 13 points.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
