Curry also holds the next best streak with 157 straight games, while Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard is in third with 150, per Basketball-Reference.
Doncic also became the 2nd-fastest player in Lakers history to record 150+ points, 50+ rebounds, and 50+ assists, with only LeBron able to do it faster, per StatMamba.
In the win against the Clippers, Doncic finished with 29 points on 9-of-17 shooting, six rebounds and nine assists. LeBron added 17 points, five rebounds and nine assists.
