MIAMI — As Luka Doncic sat down on the Lakers’ bench with 37. 8 seconds left in the team’s eventual win over the Heat on Thursday night, with Doncic in the midst of his best scoring performance of his brief Lakers tenure, he had a brief conversation with starting center Deandre Ayton before taking a pause. Sitting at 59 points at the time in what became a 60-point performance, his first with the Lakers and third of his career, Doncic soaked in the same environment inside of Kaseya Center that was chanting “M-V-P” for him just a couple of minutes ago as the Lakers and Heat awaited the decision of Miami’s challenge on a defensive foul called against Norman Powell (the challenge was unsuccessful).
