JJ Redick believes that the Los Angeles Lakers have recaptured their spark after they earned a second successive win in the NBA.

Having beaten the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA Cup, the Lakers followed that up with a 119-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.

Luka Doncic led Los Angeles once more, getting 41 points and nine rebounds in his fourth 40-point game of the season, while Austin Reaves added 25 points and eight assists.

Deandre Ayton finished with a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who finish their five-game road trip with a 3-2 record.

"This is the NBA," Redick told reporters. "And you've got to find moments to recapture what makes you a good basketball team.

"I think over the last 24 hours, we've done that.

"It was good to get something to go down. Hopefully, we will continue to shoot the ball well.

"I think there's a formula here for throwing the ball ahead and sharing the basketball. And they were good again with that."

The Lakers were playing without Rui Hachimura and Marcus Smart, who missed out with hamstring tightness and illness, respectively.

LeBron James also remains out with sciatica, having been sidelined for all 14 games this season.

There is still no official return date for him yet, though some reports suggest it should be before the end of the month.

Asked how the Lakers will work on getting him reintegrated into the team when he returns, Doncic said: "Mostly talking about things.

"I mean, LeBron is in his 23rd season. So, he knows everything about it.

"I think everybody stepped up on the court, it showed, to allow 34 points in a half, it's pretty incredible, and we have got to keep doing that.

"I think one of the biggest things for the team to win [without James] is to have great chemistry, and I think we have that."
