The Laker offense hums, with Kobe turning in a vintage performance while the young core shined in a balanced effort at home.
For at least one night, everything was right in Lakerland. The crowd got free tacos for the first time this season and everyone chipped in for an impressive 113-95 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
After avoiding another slow start, the Lakers pulled away to soundly defeat the Bucks, who had handed the Warriors their first loss on Saturday night. The purple and gold brought outstanding effort all night long, including a punishing 52-38 rebounding advantage that included 18 offensive boards and plenty of second chance points.
