The Milwaukee Bucks were coming off a tough win in San Antonio and were on the verge of playing a difficutl back-to-back game at home against the young and rested L.A. Lakers but it was all business for Giannis and the gang.

The “Greek Freak” was amazing once again finishing the game with 33 points, 15 boards, 3 assists, a steal and a block.

The Bucks started off slow but their defense allowed them to lead after one 24-17. The Lakers nearly doubled their production, scoring 32 points in the second and the game was close at the half (51-49)

Milwaukee raised their intensity on defense and a 26-18 third quarter game them an 11 point lead heading into the fourth and they never looked back.

They won by a final score of 98-90 despite Lonzo Ball’s terrific performance.

The rookie out of UCLA became the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple double (19 points, 12 rebounds, 13 assists)
