Antetokounmpo triple-doubles in win over Lakers
The Milwaukee Bucks notched their fourth victory in five games behind a hearty performance from their most dynamic player.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, a 6-foot-11 small forward, recorded an impressive stat line against the lowly-yet-feisty Los Angeles Lakers Monday night.

In addition to his 27 points, 12 boards, 10 dimes and three thefts, the "Greek Freak" added four blocks and shot an efficient 12-of-17 from the field.
On the same night the 21-year-old earned the first triple-double of his three-year career, Bucks fans bid farewell to Kobe Bryant, who played his final NBA game in the state of Wisconsin.
