Los Angeles Lakers overcome LeBron James' absence with win against Milwaukee Bucks | NBA News – Times of India
Joining Russell in the Lakers’ winning effort was Anthony Davis, who posted a double-double with 22 points and 13 rebounds, providing crucial interior presence for the team.Additionally, Austin Reaves made significant contributions off the bench with 18 points, aiding the Lakers in securing their fourth win in six games since February 28.
Despite missing LeBron James due to an aggravated left ankle injury sustained in their previous game against the Sacramento Kings, the Lakers demonstrated resilience and depth, improving their record to 5-4 in games where James has been absent this season. Rui Hachimura and Spencer Dinwiddie also played pivotal roles for Los Angeles, with Dinwiddie notably coming up with a crucial defensive play, blocking a potential game-winning shot from the Bucks’ Damian Lillard just before the buzzer sounded.
On the opposing side, Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered another impressive performance for the Bucks, notching his eighth triple-double of the season with 34 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists. Despite Antetokounmpo’s efforts, supported by strong contributions from Damian Lillard, Pat Connaughton, Malik Beasley, and Bobby Portis, the Bucks suffered their second consecutive loss after a six-game winning streak, falling to 0-2 on their four-game road trip in California.
The game featured multiple lead changes and intense moments, with the Lakers trailing for much of the first quarter before seizing control and leading 67-63 at halftime. Los Angeles extended their lead to as many as nine points in the third quarter, heading into the final period with a 96-90 advantage. However, the Bucks mounted a comeback in the fourth quarter, briefly taking the lead before Russell’s heroics sealed the victory for the Lakers, marking a memorable night for the team and their fans.

FBI seeks to interview Milwaukee police about 2020 election
MILWAUKEE — The FBI is reportedly looking to interview Milwaukee police officers about the 2020 presidential election.
The Milwaukee Police Department confirmed to TMJ4 that the department “is aware that the FBI may be interviewing members of our department regarding the 2020 Election.”
This marks the latest in a series of federal election inquiries in the area. Earlier this month, agents visited the home of Milwaukee County elections director Michelle Hawley.
The FBI has not said why they were attempting to contact Hawley, and they have not yet replied to requests for information on their probe of the Milwaukee officers.
President Donald Trump has continuously made false claims that he won the 2020 election, and election-related lawsuits continue to be a focus of the Department of Justice under the Trump administration.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge James Pederson dismissed a DOJ lawsuit seeking to compel the state of Wisconsin to hand over detailed voter registration information.
The DOJ has sued at least 30 states and the District of Columbia seeking to force the release of detailed voter data. In addition to Wisconsin, judges have rejected similar attempts in Maine, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon and Rhode Island.
