Luka Doncic delivered another all-round masterclass as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 123-112 on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
Doncic finished with 32 points, five rebounds and five assists, controlling the game from start to finish as the Lakers pulled away from a Bucks side in freefall. Milwaukee’s defeat was its eighth in a row, dropping the team to 1-11 — a dreadful start that keeps getting worse.
Bucks cannot find a way out
Milwaukee’s season has unravelled with alarming speed. Just a night earlier, the Bucks were routed 117-85 by the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, their seventh straight defeat at that point. Twenty-four hours later, they were beaten again on their own floor.
The Bucks now own one of the worst starts in the league, and the questions around the team are only growing louder. A roster built to contend has instead produced a single win in 12 games, and every defeat adds pressure on the players and coaches to find an answer.
Lakers keep rolling
For Los Angeles, the win was business as usual for a team with Doncic pulling the strings. His combination of scoring, playmaking and rebounding makes the Lakers dangerous on any night, and Milwaukee had no answer for him in the second half.
The Lakers will take the road win and move on, but for the Bucks the season is already at a crossroads. At 1-11, the margin for error is gone — and the next few weeks will decide whether this is a slow start or a season already lost.
Milwaukee’s misery was already headline news the night before, when the Knicks crushed the Bucks 117-85 behind Karl-Anthony Towns’ 10th straight double-double, and the week has belonged to the league’s stars — including Paul George’s 36-point night for Boston.
