Bucks Defeat Lakers 126-106, End Three-Game Skid

The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 126-106, snapping a three-game losing streak. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 24 points, while Luka Doncic, playing without LeBron James and other key players, scored a game-high 45 points but couldn't secure a win. The Lakers struggled defensively, particularly in the third quarter, where the Bucks outscored them 31-19, extending their lead significantly. Austin Reaves contributed 28 points for the Lakers, but the team faced challenges with injuries, including James, Jaxson Hayes, and Rui Hachimura.
