LUKA Doncic torched the Milwaukee Bucks with yet another fiery performance of 41 points, nine rebounds, carrying the shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers to a 119-95 win in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in Milwaukee on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025 (Sunday, PH time).
Austin Reaves provided steady support with 25 points and eight assists, while Deandre Ayton muscled his way to 20 points and 10 boards.
The Lakers played without Rui Hachimura (calf), Marcus Smart (illness), and LeBron James, who remained sidelined with sciatica and has yet to play this season.
The all-around forward Giannis Antetokounmpo posted 32 points and 10 rebounds, but the Bucks never recovered from a brutal first half in which they shot a dismal 24 percent from the field and 19 percent from deep. AJ Green contributed 15 points and Gary Trent Jr. chipped in 13 markers for Milwaukee.
Doncic and the Lakers blew the game open in the second quarter, erupting to a 65–34 halftime lead. While Los Angeles shot a crisp 55 percent, Milwaukee managed just 10 makes on 41 attempts. / RSC
