Anthony Davis Stats Tonight: 9-time Lakers All-Star outduels Giannis Antetokounmpo in massive comeback

Anthony Davis produced a performance for the ages in the LA Lakers' 128-124 double overtime comeback win against Giannis Antetokounmpo's Milwaukee Bucks. The Lakers, playing without LeBron James for the second time against the Bucks this season, were the underdogs and played like one.

LA trailed by 19 points in the first half and didn't take the lead until the first overtime. The Bucks kept fending off every big Lakers run as Doc Rivers called timely timeouts to stop the bleeding. However, the Lakers kept the pressure on throughout the night and eventually reaped the benefits.

The Lakers held the Bucks to 13 points in the fourth, scoring 27 to tie the contest. The first overtime couldn't split the teams, either. The double overtime began with both teams missing a bunch of shots before exchanging leads again.

However, an Austin Reaves 3 and Anthony Davis' game-winning free throws sealed the game for LA.
