Doncic, Mamukelashvili and Reaves lead Lakers past Bucks 123-112 for 7th straight win

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Luka Doncic scored 32 points, Sandro Mamukelashvili added 23 and Austin Reaves 18 as the Los Angeles Lakers extended their winning streak to seven games with a 123-112 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.

Mamukelashvili, a second-round draft pick of the Bucks in 2021, matched a season-high for points set on Monday at Atlanta, and Reaves returned to action after missing Monday’s game due to illness.

Walker Kessler had 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Collin Sexton chipped in with 10 points for Los Angeles, which improved to a league-best 11-2.

Milwaukee’s season-scoring leader, Tyler Herro, who missed his first game of the season on Tuesday night because of a bruised right knee, returned with 25 points and seven assists. Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored a season-high 23 points for the Bucks, who lost their eighth straight and fell to 1-11.
