NBA: Giannis Antetokounmpo leads Bucks to important win over Lakers

Giannis Antetokounmpo made big plays late to lead Milwaukee Bucks to its fifth win in seven games since his return from injury in late December.

The Bucks beat the Los Angeles Lakers 105-101 with Giannis coming up with big defensive plays in the final minutes with the game tied on 101.

Giannis first blocked LeBron James’ shot attempt with 39.2 seconds left in the game that led to the Bucks scoring on the ensuing possession for the lead.

The Greek superstar then produced a turnover via a steal on LeBron James to take away the Lakers chance to score a potential game tying shot.

After the game, Giannis collected LeBron James’ jersey and relished the moment as the 41 year old Lakers star inches close to retirement.

In 31 minutes, Giannis registered 21 points, five assists and six rebounds against the Lakers.
