After Action Report

The Lakers squeaked past the Bucks 105-102. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. Whispers of a Bucks locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
