Anthony Davis scored 44 points as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee Bucks.
The Los Angeles Lakers upset the Milwaukee Bucks, who were led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, thanks to the best performance of the season by the Lakers. Anthony Davis once again shone brightest for the Lakers, as he notched a double-double by scoring 44 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
While LeBron James led the way offensively for the Lakers with 28 points and 11 assists, Russell Westbrook contributed 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 11 assists for the Lakers. The Bucks had the best defense in the NBA, but the Lakers’ offense was fluid and effective throughout the game.
Speaking about AD’s performance against the Bucks. Shannon Sharpe said, “This AD tonite is an MVP candidate. He was the best player on the court even with 2 guys with 6 regular season mvp awards and 5 finals mvps. Go argue with homies. I’m busy celebrating #LakerNation #lakerswin“
Anthony Davis will be in the running for Most Valuable Player if the Los Angeles Lakers continue to play like they have been, which has led to their current record of 9-12. Over the past several weeks, he has displayed a level of play that is comparable to that of the league’s greatest player.
Giannis Antetokounmpo will be ready for Anthony Davis next time
Giannis Antetokounmpo had a tremendous game as well, scoring 40 points, but the Bucks still ended up losing to the Lakers by a score of 133-129 despite his performance. In addition, Khris Middleton made his first appearance of the season in this game and contributed 17 points.
Giannis was defeated by Anthony Davis in this matchup, but we can anticipate that the Bucks star will come roaring back stronger than ever the next time these two go head-to-head. The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the best teams in the NBA and having Khris Middleton back is a big boost for them.
