LeBron James posts highest points tally of season as Lakers beat Bucks

LeBron James helped his Los Angeles Lakers side inflict a second straight defeat on the Milwaukee Bucks with 34 points in a 113-106 victory.

James recorded his season’s best points tally at the Fiserv Forum and made six out of 10 three-point attempts, with the Lakers attack helped by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scoring 23 and Anthony Davis’ 18.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 25 points and 12 rebounds and Jrue Holiday scored 22 for the Bucks and they cut the Lakers’ lead to two with three minutes left on the clock, but the visitors motored home.

Steph Curry scored 30 for the Golden State Warriors but it was not enough as the New York Knicks prevailed 119-104.
