It would be typical of the Milwaukee Bucks to come off a victory over the defending champion, Golden State Warriors, only to follow that up with a complete dud of a loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers the next evening.
Milwaukee appeared intent on bucking on those expectations.
The Lakers, while certainly not one of the better teams in the NBA, were not a team for Milwaukee to take lightly. They feature some nice, young talent on their roster. Despite missing their prized rookie, Lonzo Ball, due to injury, Los Angeles was still able to send out quality players like Julius Randle, Brandon Ingram, and Kyle Kuzma.
