The third quarter saw the Lakers further extend their lead, shooting an impressive 7-for-11 from three-point range and winning the quarter 33-23. Matisse Thybulle contributed eight points during this stretch. Despite an injury scare for Doncic in the fourth quarter, where he landed awkwardly after making a long three-pointer, he was able to continue playing and helped maintain a comfortable lead. The Lakers ultimately secured the win with a 24-point advantage and just over four minutes left in the game, solidifying their dominance in Milwaukee, where they have now won four of their last five visits.S1S2
