Luka Doncic tormented Toronto to the tune of eight turnovers -- swiping five steals and drawing three charges -- becoming the first player to record those defensive marks in the same game since player tracking began in 2013-14, according to ESPN Research. "Obviously, I'm not the best defender in the NBA, but I think this year, I really took a step forward," said Doncic, whose season-high 15 rebounds also came on the defensive end. "Obviously, people are going to talk about what they want to talk [about] me. ... But I know, and my team knows, that I'm better this year." No player had ever posted a 15-rebound game with 8 threes and 5 steals since the 3-point line arrived in 1979, until Luka Doncic did it in a 131-125 win over the Raptors. Walker Kessler posted a 15-point, 15-rebound game without missing a shot, something no Laker had done since Mitch Kupchak on Nov. 20, 1981.
