Luka Doncic posted the NBA's first 50-point game of the season Sunday, scoring 52 points in the Los Angeles Lakers' 132-123 win over the Utah Jazz. Doncic recorded eight 3-pointers and added 10 assists and seven rebounds.

Doncic capped a 14-5 run with consecutive 3-pointers, putting Los Angeles ahead 127-121 with 1:42 remaining. The Lakers erased an 18-point second-quarter deficit to win for the eighth time in nine meetings with Utah.

It was Doncic's fourth career game with 50 points and 10 assists. Only James Harden, with eight, has more. 

Doncic scored or assisted on 79 points, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Only Kobe Bryant (86) and Elgin Baylor (80) have produced more in a game in Lakers history.

Austin Reaves added 29 points as he and Doncic went 21-of-24 from the free-throw line. Doncic praised his teammate after the game.

"His efficiency, it's off the roof," said Doncic. "And just to have him next to me leading this team, it's awesome. He keep going like that, he's going to be really good for us."

Lauri Markkanen led Utah with 28 points. Keyonte George posted 24 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists, while Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 20. Ace Bailey had 17 points and 12 rebounds.

Walker Kessler managed two points and seven rebounds in his return to Utah. The Jazz sent him to Los Angeles in a sign-and-trade deal in July.
