In a double-overtime thriller, the
Los Angeles Lakers survived against the
Milwaukee Bucks, who melted down and lost a 19-point margin in the fourth.
Austin Reaves played a fantastic game and hit a three-point dagger from way down town.
With both teams going at it, the Lakers proved to have more legs to put up with these nail-biter heavyweight fight. The LA Lakers couldn't count on LeBron James for this match, but they replaced him with an outstanding team effort.
Anthony Davis had a colossal battle with Giannis, but the game ended up being decided in the hands of Austin Reaves.
With 39 seconds left in the second overtime, De'Angelo Russell goes right and uses the screen set by Reaves, and the second he sees the defensive mistake by the Bucks (they didn't switched on the pick) Russell hits Austin with a bounce pass and the Lakers guard still has fuel on the tank to six the decisive three-pointer. Despite there was some time left, this was the action that ripped Milwaukee's soul. Statement win for LA, the team played its heart out and got a remarkable win on the road against one the Eastern Conference best squads.
