After playing most of their games at the Staples, the Los Angeles Lakers finally start their road trip. Their first matchup is against the Milwaukee Bucks. Like the purple and gold, the Bucks have had a shaky start to the season. Yet to play with their full roster, they have started 6-8. However, it seems Giannis Antetokounmpo is desperate for success as he went off in the half against the Lakers.

Coming in as the reigning Finals MVP, Giannis has been sensational this season. While he lacked Middleton and Jrue Holiday in the beginning, his performances have been great almost every game. Like any other season, he is one of the leading scorers in the NBA while delivering on the defensive end as well. However, winning has come tough this season with his fellow stars not being available.

However, Antetokounmpo seems desperate to snap the Bucks’ two-game losing streak and make a resounding statement at home. This was clear by the way he dominated Anthony Davis in the first half and fans took to Twitter to react.

Giannis Antetokounmpo puts on a show against Anthony Davis

The Lakers are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Chicago Bulls at home. Hence, they would hope to start their road trip with a win. But Antetokounmpo has different plans as he torched the purple and gold all by himself. Not only that, he dominated big man, Anthony Davis as well.

Giannis was the Bucks’ lone star in the first half when it came to the scoring department. The ‘Greek Freak’ scored 28 points while 12-12 from the field. Moreover, he was a perfect 2-2 from downtown. He is oozing with confidence as he takes on the third quarter. Along with him, Bobby Portis added 17 points as well while Holiday accumulated 3 steals to his name.

For the Lakers, Russell Westbrook led the way with 14 points and 6 assists. Center Anthony Davis scored just 8 points through the first half and was unable to stop the ‘Greek Freak’ from going off. They enter the third quarter, trailing by 11 points in their first road game. The Lakers will need to figure out a better defensive routine to come back as they are giving away too many points.
