Their on-court performance was filled with team effort, and plays that made the Bucks’ defense arguably look weak. A sublime victory like this has been long overdue for Lakers fans. However, LeBron James has given fans another reason to rejoice and remember this game.

The scoreboard at the end of the game read 133-129 in favor of the Lakers. While all online feeds carried this news, fans were quick to bring up the highly impressive stat lines.
