D'Angelo Russell finishes with 44 points, nine assists and six rebounds as the Lakers overcome LeBron James' absence to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks 123-122.
The Lakers desperately held on to a late lead against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, their primary closer in street clothes because of a sore ankle. They had weathered bulldozing drives from Giannis Antetokounmpo. They’d handled flurries from Damian Lillard. And, on the back of an incredible D’Angelo Russell heater, they were in an every-possession-matters game with the Bucks deep into the fourth. But Antetokounmpo drilled a jumper.
With the Lakers needing one last stop, Spencer Dinwiddie, the Angeleno native making his first start for the team , smothered Lillard and blocked a potential game-winner in the final seconds, securing an emotional 123-122 win. Russell finished with a season-best 44 points while making nine threes — his run of stellar play over the last two months reaching a new high.
