Lakers fall to Bucks after Giannis Antetokounmpo’s clutch heroics

LeBron James was his spectacular self, scoring 26 points while adding 10 assists. Luka Doncic, however, struggled. He shot just 8-25 for 24 points.

The hero of the game was Giannis Antetokounmpo. He scored 21 points on an efficient 9-11 shooting. It was in the clutch where Antetokounmpo came up big.

The Greek Freak blocked a shot by LeBron and then stole the ball from him on consecutive possessions.
