NBA star Luka Doncic spoke about how the Los Angeles Lakers will adjust when LeBron James returns to their lineup.

After the game, several Lakers players tried to grab the game ball to hand to Thiero to commemorate his NBA debut. While officials originally turned them down, Giannis Antetokounmpo took matters into his own hands and got the ball for Thiero:

Luka Doncic had 41 points and nine rebounds, Austin Reaves added 25 points and eight assists, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 119-95

It was a quiet Bobby Portis game, which can be both good or bad. BP hit his threes, but he went back to his bull-headed ways of taking contested hook shots and jumpers. There was one sequence where he posted up Reaves and spun to the middle of the floor to take a contested hook over multiple defenders.

Milwaukee hosts the Los Angeles Lakers on November 15, 2025, in a highly anticipated clash. Both teams are grappling with significant injury concerns, impacting their rotations and strategies. Giannis Antetokounmpo continues his MVP-caliber season for the Bucks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 32 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and had five assists—the only Buck to score over 15 points. Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves combined for 66 points and 10 made threes.
