Milwaukee, WI, Nov. 15, 2025 — The Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up a five-game road swing by overpowering the Milwaukee Bucks 119-95 on Saturday night at Fiserv Forum.
Luka Doncic scored a game-high 41 points, grabbed nine rebounds and handed out six assists, helping Los Angeles improve to 10-4. Austin Reaves added 25 points, six rebounds and eight assists, while Deandre Ayton finished with several highlight lobs during a night that saw the Lakers lead by as many as 31.
Fast start puts Lakers in control
Los Angeles opened the second half of a back-to-back with a 17-8 burst sparked by Doncic’s 10 straight points. The Bucks struggled from the field, and the visitors closed the first quarter ahead 30-18.
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored Milwaukee’s first eight points of the second period, but the Lakers’ bench maintained the cushion. A transition dunk by Jaxson Hayes and an open three from rookie Dalton Knecht highlighted a 35-16 quarter that sent L.A. into halftime up 65-34.
Bucks’ rallies fall short
Milwaukee opened the third with a 10-0 run behind AJ Green’s perimeter shooting, cutting the margin to 16 before head coach JJ Redick called timeout. Doncic steadied the Lakers with consecutive threes and beat the buzzer to restore a 92-72 edge entering the fourth.
The Bucks again threatened with a 9-2 spurt to start the final period, but Reaves answered with three straight three-pointers to end the suspense. Rookie Adou Thiero later threw down a dunk for his first NBA basket, sealing the outcome.
Stat leaders
Lakers: Doncic 41 pts, 9 reb, 6 ast; Reaves 25 pts; Ayton multiple alley-oop finishes.
Bucks: Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee, while Gary Trent Jr. supplied early offense and Green sparked the third-quarter push.
