Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic delivered another spectacular performance, guiding the Los Angeles Lakers to a commanding 119-95 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in NBA action on Sunday, November 16, 2025.
Dominant Display from Doncic
The Mavericks transfer tormented the Bucks defense throughout the contest, finishing with an impressive stat line of 41 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. His outstanding individual effort propelled the Lakers to their tenth victory of the season against only four losses.
Doncic continues to build his MVP case this season, now averaging 34.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game. His consistent excellence has kept the Lakers competitive despite significant roster challenges.
Supporting Cast Steps Up
Doncic received valuable support from his teammates in the convincing road win. Austin Reaves contributed 25 points and 8 assists, while center Deandre Ayton recorded a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
The Lakers achieved this impressive victory despite missing multiple key players. The team competed without Rui Hachimura (calf injury), Marcus Smart (illness), and superstar LeBron James, who has yet to play this season due to sciatica concerns.
Bucks Struggle Despite Giannis Effort
Milwaukee's Greek forward Giannis Antetokounmpo tried to keep his team competitive, posting 32 points and 10 rebounds in the losing effort. However, the Bucks never recovered from a disastrous first half where they converted only 24 percent of their field goal attempts.
Role players AJ Green and Gary Trent Jr. each added 13 points for the struggling Bucks, but their contributions proved insufficient against the Lakers' offensive firepower.
The game was effectively decided by halftime, with Los Angeles establishing a massive 65-34 advantage after two quarters. The Lakers maintained control throughout the second half, never allowing Milwaukee to mount a serious comeback before the final buzzer sounded.
