The Milwaukee Bucks (27 - 22) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers (13 - 36) 113 - 105 on Wednesday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee. The Bucks were the superior shooters in this game, going 50 percent from the field and 42 percent from the three - point line, while the Lakers shot just 42 percent from the floor and 32 percent from beyond the arc. Despite being out - rebounded 53 - 35, the Bucks forced the Lakers into 18 turnovers, while only committing 12 of their own. The Bucks had four players reach the 20 - point mark in this game. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 25 points (10 - 14 FG, 5 - 5 FT), while also adding six rebounds and two blocked shots. The 25 points were a new season - high for him and a nice surprise for the Bucks, as he's averaging only 11 points per game so far this season. Brandon Knight had a very solid performance as well, posting 24 points (7 - 17 FG, 4 - 7 3Pt, 6 - 6 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes. He had a poor showing in Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, going only 3 - of - 13 from the field, so it was good to see him have a better night shooting the ball. Khris Middleton came close to a triple - double, with 21 points (7 - 13 FG, 1 - 5 3Pt, 6 - 7 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists. He also did it on the defensive side of the ball with three steals, marking the fourth straight game with at least two steals. Coming off the bench, O.J. Mayo was the fourth member to reach the 20 - point plateau, scoring 21 points (8 - 15 FG, 5 - 8 3Pt) in 33 minutes. Carlos Boozer had a huge outing off the bench for the Lakers, posting a game - high of 28 points, to go along with nine rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes. He's played outstanding over his last three games, averaging 21 points and nine rebounds over that stretch. Leading the starters, Wayne Ellington found his stroke, scoring 19 points (7 - 17 FG, 5 - 12 3Pt) in 37 minutes. He had a very poor game against the Knicks on Sunday, so it was a nice bounce back showing for him. Also providing a bunch of production off the bench was Nick Young. Young went 5 - for - 12 from the field and 2 - for - 8 from the three - point line to score 16 points. He missed three games in a row with an ankle injury, so it was a positive sign for his ankle that he played 34 minutes. Robert Sacre added 10 points as the starting center. The Bucks' next game will be on the road against the Houston Rockets on Friday, while the Lakers will travel to Orlando to play the Magic on Friday.
