Luka Doncic scores 42 as Lakers blow past Cavaliers 127-113

LOS ANGELES — The Cavaliers couldn't stop Luka Doncic, the Lakers or their winning ways. Doncic scored 42 points with 12 assists, Deandre Ayton added 18 points with nine rebounds and Los Angeles extended its winning streak to four games with a 127-113 victory over the Cavaliers on Tuesday night. Jarrett Allen scored 18 points and James Harden added 17 in his first game in his hometown since he was traded by the Los Angeles Clippers on Feb. 4. Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell was held to 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting. Thomas Bryant scored 14 points for the Cavaliers, who have already clinched a playoff spot. Cleveland lost for the second time in eight games since March 17 and dropped to 1-1 on a three-game road trip against Western Conference teams. The Cavaliers led by seven late in the first quarter before the Lakers took charge to lead by as many as 15 in the second and went up 65-53 at halftime by shooting 53.2 percent from the floor. "We were a step slow in our reaction, not getting into our stuff quick," Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said of the offense. "We just didn't have the requisite energy." Los Angeles led 86-66 midway through the third quarter and entered the fourth with a commanding 110-83 advantage. Austin Reaves scored 19 points, while LeBron James, Jake LaRavia and Rui Hachimura each had 14 as the Lakers won shortly after they clinched the Pacific Division title and a top-six spot in the Western Conference playoffs when the Phoenix Suns lost at Orlando earlier Tuesday. Doncic was 13-of-26 from the floor and had his 16th game of at least 40 points this season after he missed Monday's victory over the Washington Wizards because of technical foul accumulation. James was a gametime decision with continued left foot soreness. The Lakers shot 54.2 percent from the floor, while the Cavaliers shot 49.4 percent. Los Angeles has won 50 games in consecutive seasons for the first time since four straight from 2007-11. Up next Cavaliers: At Golden State on Thursday night. Lakers: At Oklahoma City on Thursday night.
