Without pivots and without LeBron, Luka Doncic can't even with 45 points

Comfortable victory for the Milwaukee Bucks over the Los Angeles Lakers with a score of 126-106, marking the second consecutive defeat for the Angelinos. They cannot afford to have absences right now as they are not only without LeBron James, but also missing Jaxson Hayes and Rui Hachimura. This means they are losing a significant part of their interior potential along with all that Bron contributes both in defense and offense. Therefore, it's the third consecutive loss for the purple and gold, even though Luka Doncic became the first player since the sixties to score 45 points and gather 11 rebounds.

Austin Reaves returned to his best form this time and contributed 28 points, but it wasn't enough for a Lakers team that struggled from the three-point line (15 out of 40) and ended the game with 10 rebounds less than their opponent. They seem to be facing difficulties in the upcoming matches. It's hard to believe that this team can achieve great things this year.

Yesterday, they brought back Dorian Finney-Smith, who was absent in the loss against the Nets, but it wasn't sufficient. The Bucks were far superior and claimed the victory with 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists from Giannis Antetokounmpo. Brook Lopez contributed 23 points, while Damian Lillard added 22 points and 10 assists. Kevin Porter Jr. scored 22 points and Gary Trent Jr. added 16 points coming off the bench.
