Story summary

On November 12, 2026, the Los Angeles Lakers extended their winning streak to seven games by defeating the Milwaukee Bucks with a score of 123-112. Luka Dončić led the Lakers with 32 points, while Sandro Mamukelashvili added 23 and Austin Reaves scored 18.

The Lakers also faced concerns about Reaves, who left the game with a heel injury in the third quarter and did not return for the fourth quarter. Despite these injuries, the Lakers maintained their league-best record at 11-2, while the Bucks fell to an 0-8 streak after this loss.
