LOS ANGELES -- After Luka Doncic scored 49 points in the Lakers' 128-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday -- shattering Jerry West's 56-year franchise record for the most points through the first two games of a season, 92-81 -- his teammate Austin Reaves was posed a question.

Could Doncic average 40 points?

"Yes," Reaves told ESPN.

Could Doncic average 40 and would it help the team win?

"Yes," Reaves continued. "He's so good it's weird."

It was uncanny to see just how effective the Doncic-led Lakers offense was in its second game of the season compared with Tuesday's 119-109 season-opening loss to the Golden State Warriors .

The Lakers shot better from the field, 59.2% compared with 54.5% on Tuesday, and were much better from 3, shooting 41.4% compared with 25%.
