Lakers 119-95 Bucks. I didn’t expect the Lakers to be so strong.

2:45pm, 16 November 2025【Basketball】

The Lakers challenge the Bucks in back-to-back away games. Before the game, the Lakers ranked 4th in the Western Conference with 9 wins and 4 losses, and the Bucks ranked 6th in the Eastern Conference with 8 wins and 5 losses. I originally thought this was a strong dialogue between the two strong players in the East and the West. Unexpectedly, the Lakers relied on defense to allow the Bucks to score without a sports game in 8 minutes, and during this period they launched a 25-5 super offensive wave. Relying on this offensive wave, the Lakers beat the Bucks 119-95 away from home. The way the Lakers won was so surprising.

In the first quarter, the Lakers came out with full firepower and suppressed the Bucks at many points. Especially Doncic scored 12 points with a sudden outside shot and sent 5 assists to revitalize the team. The Lakers turned away and scored 30 points in a single quarter, leading the Bucks by 12 points in the first quarter.

After the second quarter, both sides still had offense and defense. With 8 minutes left in the second quarter, the Lakers took a 38-29 lead, and the Bucks still maintained the momentum to catch up. But no one expected that this would be the end of the Bucks' first half sports scoring.

In the next 8 minutes, the Bucks' offensive end came to a complete standstill. They failed to hit any sports goals and only relied on free throws to score 5 points. The Lakers seized the opportunity of their opponents feeling frozen and launched a frantic counterattack. They fully suppressed both offense and defense. The offensive end flourished and scored consecutive points. The defensive end locked the Bucks' offensive line. A hearty 25-5 attack wave ran through the rest of the second quarter. As the halftime whistle blew, the Lakers opened the point difference to 31 points in one fell swoop, laying a solid foundation for the game.

In the second half, the Bucks changed sides and fought again. In the third quarter, the Bucks woke up like a dream. Especially Antetokounmpo went on a rampage and scored 15 points in a single quarter. However, even so, the Bucks failed to narrow the point difference to less than 15 points. In the final quarter, the Lakers played steadily. Rivers scored three consecutive three-pointers to extinguish the Bucks' hopes of counterattack. At the same time, due to the too large point difference, the Lakers have been steadily suppressing the Bucks in the score. In the end, they easily defeated their opponents in the away game and won 2 consecutive victories.

In terms of player performance, it is not easy for three Lakers players to score 20+ points.

Doncic was the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory. He made 9 of 19 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, and 18 of 20 free throws. He scored 41 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. This was his fourth game this season in which he scored more than 40 points in a single game. His performance today was extremely brave.

Ayton became a surprise player for the Lakers. He made 9 of 13 shots in the paint and efficiently scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. In the second quarter, he scored 14 points in a single quarter to lay the foundation for the Lakers to win the game. Rivers also performed well. He took care of both personal offense and connecting the team. He made 9 of 17 shots and scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal.

Antetokounmpo is on his own for the Bucks. Although he made 9 of 15 shots and scored 32 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block, there are still too few people in the team who can stand up. Especially in the second quarter, the Bucks were completely locked up by the Lakers. No one except Antetokounmpo could step forward. This was the biggest reason for the team's home defeat.
