The Lakers came back from down 19 without LeBron James to beat the Bucks in Milwaukee after a double-overtime thriller 128-124.
Anthony Davis led the way for the Lakers with a massive double-double of 34 points and 23 rebounds, while playing an incredible 52 minutes — the most by a Laker since Kobe Bryant in 2012.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to a huge win for LA’s team.

Lakers really need LeBron to play tomorrow. He’s going to be the only one with fresh legs and who knows what Davis’ status will be after injuring his knee. AD, DLo, and Reaves all logged nearly two games worth of minutes tonight.
