Julius Randle wasn’t just dominant against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was outright historic as it pertains to Los Angeles Lakers history. Randle set a career high with 36 points, adding 14 rebounds and seven assists in the 127-113 victory.
As such, Randle became the first Lakers player with at least 30 points, 14 rebounds and six assists in a single game since Kobe Bryant had 36-14-8 on March 23, 2008. Despite his prolific stat line, Bryant and the Lakers fell, 115-111, to the Golden State Warriors that night.
Other Lakers since the 1979-80 season to produce such statistics in a single game are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Vlade Divac and Shaquille O’Neal.
