First, LeBron James was ruled out with an ankle injury before the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers even arrived at Fiserv Forum on Tuesday night.

On the night, the Bucks were called for 26 personal fouls to the Lakers’ 13. Davis wasn’t called for his first personal foul until his 50th minute of the game, which was in the second overtime.

The Bucks shot 17 free throws as a team, making 11 (64.7%). The Lakers, by contrast, were a remarkable 30 of 32 overall from the free throw line (93.8%).

Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 29 points, 21 rebounds and 11 assists. He also had three blocks, two steals and seven turnovers.

Lillard fouled out after scoring 27 points on 9 of 29 shooting, including 3 of 14 from behind the three-point line. Khris Middleton had five fouls and scored 12 points on 4 of 15 shooting and handed out seven assists.

Malik Beasley had 21 points and Bobby Portis added 18 off the bench for Milwaukee.

Davis posted 34 points, 23 rebounds, four blocks, two steals and two assists in a career-high 52 minutes played, while Reaves had a triple-double with 29 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. D’Angelo Russell has 29 points and 12 assists.

Then, the Bucks took 19-point leads in the first and fourth quarters.

It didn’t feel like a double-overtime, back-and-forth thriller was anywhere near the offing. But that’s what happened as the Lakers rallied from those deficits to pull out a 128-124 comeback victory.

Aside from blowing a 94-75 lead in the final 8 minutes, 25 seconds of regulation, the Bucks had a 117-115 lead with 3.6 seconds left in the first overtime. But, they were whistled for a foul and D’Angelo Russell tied the game at 117 with 3.1 to go. Damian Lillard’s game-winning layup attempt was then blocked by Anthony Davis.

In the second overtime, the Bucks had a 121-119 lead with 1:21 to go, but they were called for a foul and Spencer Dinwiddie tied the game with two free throws with 1:17 left. After Giannis Antetokounmpo missed a tough fadeaway over Davis off the front of the rim, the Bucks defense lost Austin Reaves who knocked down a set, wide-open three-pointer to give the Lakers a 124-121 lead.

There was plenty to regret for Milwaukee, but Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 1-for-6 night at the free-throw line stood out as the Lakers took control in the second overtime.

After Lillard missed a three-pointer and Antetokounmpo missed two free throws, Russell knocked down two more free throws for a 126-124 lead. Davis added two more free throws for the final margin.
