The Los Angeles Lakers didn't need LeBron James to win a double-overtime thriller.
Anthony Davis and Austin Raves led the team to a 128-124 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, erasing a 19-point fourth-quarter lead just to force the first overtime. To reach the second overtime, Davis had to snuff out a would-be game-winner from Damian Lillard.
The win improves the Lakers' record to 6-4 this season without James.
