On February 18, Beijing time, in the Lone Rangers' away win over the Pelicans, Doncic broke out again, he played for 38 minutes, shot 35 times crazy and hit 17 goals, including 7 of 14 from three points, 8 of 12 from the free throws, slashed 49 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block, leading the team to win plus or minus the highest +21 in the game, and the Lone Rangers hit the top four in the West with 6 wins and 1 loss in the last 7 games.
Doncic has been in hot form in recent times, facing the Clippers' continuous bombardment of 51+9+6 and 45+15+8 hot data. In the last game, Doncic faced the Heat with only 21+10+6, and failed to turn on the big killer mode again.
However, in the face of a battle with the Pelicans, the Lone Ranger scored 45 points in the first quarter, setting a record for the team's highest score in a single quarter this season. Among them, Doncic gave 5 of 9 in the first quarter, including 4 of 5 outside three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws for crazy fouls, and scored 19 points in a single quarter to easily break the Pelicans' defense.
Although the Pelicans tightened restrictions on Doncic, he still scored 6 points in the second quarter even if he only had 2 of 5, and he scored 25+7+5 in the first half 17 minutes, which was his third half-time 25+ performance in the last four games, and the remaining two were against the Clippers in the previous two games, 32 points in the first half on February 10 and 29 points on February 12.
Doncic's explosive power continued into the second half, and even if he only hit two three-pointers in the second two quarters, his 7-of-14 crosshairs were still excellent. Throughout the second half, Doncic gave 8 of 20 crosshairs, 2 of 5 free throws, and once again exploded with 24 points to lead the team to win.
Doncic has scored at least 45 points in three of his last four games, and such a hot state is also leading the Lone Ranger to rank fifth in the West, and there is a possibility of counterattacking the top four in the West.
It is worth mentioning that Doncic tied Curry's record, becoming the only two players this season to have at least 3 shots of 45+ points.
