Luka Doncic scores 45 points and Austin Reaves adds 28, but a Lakers team missing three starters is no match for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee in a 126-106 loss.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 24 points and added 12 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 126-106 win over the visiting Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.

After losing all four away games without their starting frontcourt, the Lakers come home for five games in seven days, starting with Phoenix on Sunday

Doncic and Sims delivered jaw-dropping plays as the Lakers and Bucks traded blows in a high-energy first half.

The Bucks allowed Doncic to go off for 45 points, which was the most he scored in a Lakers uniform. But with 23 points chipped in from veteran big Brook Lopez along with four blocks, the Bucks were able to get a much-needed win. After the game, Lillard took some time during his media session to heap big-time praise on the Slovenian superstar.
