Welcome to the "Monday Morning Shootaround," Bleacher Report's recap of the weekend that was in the NBA.

LeBron James joined a club of one on Tuesday , while Luka Dončić joined a club of four. With 30 points and a Lakers career-high 15 assists, Luka Dončić became only the fourth player in Lakers history to post those totals in a single game in a 136-115 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

After a back-and-forth first half in which the P...
