In a stunning performance this season, Luka Doncic scored 53 points for the LA Lakers in their NBA Cup victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. The 124-118 win marked Luka's biggest scoring night yet, surpassing his previous high of 52 points scored two weeks prior against the Utah Jazz. Throughout the season, Doncic has averaged an impressive 40.1 points per game.

Celebrity fans were spotted courtside for the game, including actress Jessica Alba, who is known to be a Lakers fan. NBA fans theorize that Alba's presence may have provided Doncic with added inspiration for his dominant performance. Fans have expressed admiration for Doncic's skills, with some even suggesting he would play like a game 7 in the finals if he were given the opportunity.

Lakers fans have also speculated that Doncic's performance was influenced by Alba's attendance, with one fan stating, "Now we know why Luka refused to lose the game."
