Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers extended their winning streak to seven games on Wednesday by defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 123-112, securing an 11-2 record that stands as the best mark in the NBA.
During this seven-game surge, the Los Angeles attack has averaged 125.3 points while conceding 115 points per contest. The stretch included victories over Miami, Sacramento, Portland, Detroit, and Atlanta before taking down Milwaukee.
Dončić finished Wednesday’s win with 32 points, five rebounds, five assists, and three steals across 32 minutes of action, shooting 10-for-25 from the field. Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reported that Dončić exited to the locker room late in the fourth quarter due to an apparent right ankle injury after landing on Kyle Kuzma’s foot and did not return.
Despite a less efficient shooting night against Milwaukee where he hit 5-of-12 three-point attempts and 7-of-10 free throws, Dončić reached the 30-point threshold in his ninth consecutive appearance. That performance tied the historical NBA record set by Oscar Robertson for most consecutive games with at least 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Dončić’s early-season run also featured scoring outbursts of 42 points against Miami, 40 points against Sacramento, and a 53-point night against Portland where the Lakers overcame a 16-point deficit. Dončić entered the 2026-27 campaign following LeBron James’ departure in free agency to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Against Milwaukee, the Lakers received a 23-point spark off the bench from Sandro Mamukelashvili, who matched his season high by converting 9-of-15 shots, including five three-pointers. Austin Reaves contributed 18 points and five assists in his return from a one-game absence due to illness before leaving the floor with left heel soreness, while Walker Kessler added 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Los Angeles built separation by taking the second quarter 31-22 and the third quarter 33-23 to lead by 21 points heading into the final frame.
Dončić’s status remains worth monitoring ahead of Sunday’s game in Phoenix as the team evaluates his right ankle.
