Luka Doncic has had some pretty incredible games and feats throughout his young career.
Doncic had a 70-point game in his career, but even that might not compare with what he accomplished on Friday night against the Wizards.
Why was Luka Doncic's triple-double against the Wizards so impressive?
On Friday night, the Lakers were in Washington, D.C. for a game against the Wizards, when Luka Doncic had one of the best first halves of his career.
Doncic has always been a triple-double machine, but he was able to record a triple-double in D.C. before halftime could even arrive, which is virtually unheard of.

Through 19 minutes of playing time, he had 26 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
It was just the second time since the 1997-98 season that a player recorded a triple-double with 25+ points in the first half (via NBA), with Doncic himself being the player to do it the first time.
To finish a game with that statline would be impressive enough, yet he can still add to a career night in the second half.
