Doncic Sets Unmatched NBA Milestones as Lakers Rally to Ninth Straight

Luka Doncic powered the Lakers to a 105-104 comeback win over the Magic, scoring 33 points to extend an unprecedented run as the first player in NBA history to score at least 30 points in nine straight wins. Across that stretch he totaled 250 points, 50 assists, 50 rebounds and 25 made 3-pointers over seven games, and he set Lakers single-season marks with seven 30-point triple-doubles and a team record for made 3s. The nine-game winning streak helped Los Angeles climb to third in the West, but Doncic nursed a potential one-game suspension on his 16th technical foul, which the team plans to appeal.

UConn's Unbeaten Run Faces a Shortlist of March Madness Threats

UConn's Unbeaten Run Faces a Shortlist of March Madness Threats

UConn remains undefeated through 34 games and is favored to win the national title, but experts flag a few potential threats in March Madness. The Huskies’ defense and paint protection keep them ahead, yet their willingness to concede 3-pointers can be exploited by hot outside shooting. In the Fort Worth 1 region, Vanderbilt, Texas and UCLA stand out as plausible upset candidates thanks to high-volume 3-point attack and relentless pressure, with Ohio State and Tennessee also capable of disrupting UConn's rhythm. Even if one of these teams pushes them, UConn’s scoring margin, assists and defensive metrics keep them as the team to beat.
