The Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee are among the cream of the league’s crop. Unfortunately for the Bucks, the Lakers snatched away a victory tonight, 113-106. This was a great bounce-back from Monday’s letdown. All-around better effort and contributions. This win puts them at an undefeated 8-0 on the road and 12-4 on the season.
LeBron James may have underwhelmed Monday, but tonight put things back in order. He dropped 34 points on 52 percent shooting along with eight assists and six rebounds. He also shot 60 percent from long range on 10 attempts.
