The Milwaukee Bucks got a much-needed win against a shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers for the second time in a week. Giannis had 28 points in 29 minutes of game time, while Gary Trent Jr. and Kyle Kuzma combined for 43 on 15/26 shooting from the floor. It was the two rookies for the Lakers who were the lone bright spots: Dalton Knecht and Bronny James, who each had 17, a career-high for the latter (though James was also a -36, second worst behind Shake Milton).
