NBA Twitter reacts to Lakers’ double overtime win over Bucks: ‘AD put the city of LA on his back’
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.

LeBron James was counting down while Giannis shot his free throws, where he missed both of them 😬

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.

LAKERS JUST PULLED OFF AN INCREDIBLY IMPRESSIVE WIN AT MILWAUKEE IN DOUBLE OT WITHOUT THE KING. SEVERAL CHAMPIONSHIP PIECES WERE ON DISPLAY: AD, AR, DLO, RUI. CONGRATS, GENTLEMEN. NOW GET SOME REST.
