Luka Doncic Makes History, Thrills NBA Fans as Lakers Improve to 10-4 in Win vs. Bucks

Led by a stellar performance from Luka Dončić, the Los Angeles Lakers secured a 119-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.

Dončić finished with a game-high 41 points to go along with nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal. He shot 9-of-19 from the field and 5-of-11 from behind the arc.

Dončić became the first player in NBA history to record at least 344 points, 89 assists and 36 three-pointers in the first 10 games of a season.

Fans were amazed by his performance.

The Lakers set the tone early in Saturday's contest, jumping out to a 23-10 lead to open the game.

Los Angeles held a 30-18 edge at the end of the first quarter and continued to excel on both sides of the ball in the second, taking a 29-point lead into halftime.

The Bucks outscored the Lakers 38-27 in the third quarter and pulled to within 13 points early in the fourth, but were never able to come any closer.

Austin Reaves made his presence felt with 25 points and eight assists, shooting 9-of-17 from the field.

Deandre Ayton recorded a double-double by scoring 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, hitting 69.2 percent of his shots. Ayton was also a factor defensively, amassing two steals and one block.

Los Angeles was efficient offensively as a team, ending the game with 49.4/39.4/91.0 shooting splits.

The victory was especially impressive considering the Lakers were without Rui Hachimura, Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent. LeBron James also remained sidelined due to sciatica on his right side.

For the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and five assists to go along with five turnovers. Antetokounmpo was the only member of Milwaukee's rotation to score more than 15 points, though.

The Lakers improved to 10-4 with the win, while the Bucks fell to 8-6.
