After having redone their makeup at the deadline, the Lakers (25-31), also without the bruised LeBron, present themselves to the challenge with the Bucks (38-17) with a roster reduced to the bone and give Milwaukee a hard time but the eventually they must surrender. After a subdued first half, the guests raised the level of intensity in the third half. Down by 11 points, the Bucks rely on the plays of the usual Antetokounmpo (38 points and 10 rebounds) who becomes unstoppable for the defense of LA. Milwaukee accelerates in the third period, takes LA and never looks back, thus winning its ninth consecutive victory.
