KamBrothers Anthony Davis throws out the “nobody is gonna feel sorry for us” cliche. Honestly, it’s gotten so bad, I’m not even sure that’s true anymore. AK –

mcten Stop me if you heard this one before … Lakers cut a 30 point deficit down to 10 but still lose, 131-116 to MIL. LeBron 27p on 11-of-19 8a; AD 22p on 8-of-10 9r 3b; Monk 20p 5a; Stanley 16p 6r; Reaves 10p; Westbrook 10p 10r. Giannis 44p on 17-of-20 14r 8a. –

Kyle Goon @
kylegoon Lakers dismantled by the Bucks, 131-116.
LeBron with 27 points, AD with 22. Giannis lays a 44-burger on the Lakers. Milwaukee shot 15 threes.
Russell Westbrook did not play a minute of the fourth quarter. –
12:33 AM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon Anthony Davis is 8 for 10 tonight. Against teams like this, Lakers have to figure out, among other things, how to get him more looks. –
12:28 AM
Andrew Greif @
AndrewGreif — 6 turnovers were Reggie Jackson’s most since Dec. 8.
— MEM’s 78 pts in paint most allowed by LAC this season.
— MEM’s 24 second-chance points most allowed by LAC since Jan. 17.
— First time LAC has allowed 20+ transition points in consecutive games since Nov. 29 and Dec. 1. –
12:24 AM
Kane Pitman @
KanePitman The transformation over the last few seasons for Giannis is being a purely physically overwhelming force to an unstoppable force who will also dissect every part of a defense to get what he wants. He’s utterly toyed with the Lakers tonight. At 27, he’s just entering his prime. –
12:12 AM
Jim Owczarski @
JimOwczarski Well, this could make the final 8:09 interesting if Mike Budenholzer loses his challenge of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s fifth foul.
Khris Middleton has four fouls, too. –
12:12 AM
Mark Medina @
MarkG_Medina For all the dominance Giannis has shown in recent seasons, it appears like he’s just getting started with sustaining this type of play for a while –
12:08 AM
Eric Nehm @
eric_nehm After a couple buckets to start the fourth quarter, including a monster two-hand alley-oop slam, I think Giannis Antetokounmpo is probably done for the night.
He put up 35/11/8 in 28 minutes. Bucks up, 115-92, with 9:39 left. –
12:05 AM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon A faint spark as the Lakers might have been stirring at the top of this quarter was snuffed by back-to-back Giannis dunks. He’s no longer perfect from the field, but he’s got 35 points, 8 assists and 11 rebounds. –
12:02 AM
Jovan Buha @
jovanbuha Third quarter: Bucks 109, Lakers 85
LeBron James has 19 points and 7 assists. Anthony Davis had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. The Lakers have been outscored and allowed 30-plus points in each quarter. –
11:59 PM
Mark Medina @
MarkG_Medina Lakers call timeout after Bucks extend a 99-69 lead with 6:05 left in the 3rd Q. Westbrook had made a good pass to Ariza, who missed the open shot. But Westbrook trudged back on defense, and Bucks had an open 3 –
11:39 PM
Jovan Buha @
jovanbuha Halftime: Bucks 78, Lakers 56
The first half was worse than the score indicates. LeBron James leads the Lakers with 13 points and 5 assists. AD has 10 points and 4 rebounds. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton have combined for 44 points on 16-of-21 shooting. –
11:10 PM
Mike Trudell @
LakersReporter LAL trail 78-56 going into the half, with the Bucks efficient shooting from inside (32 paint points) and out (9 of 16 3’s) the story of the half. LAL were also -5 in the TO battle (9-5).
Giannis had 23, 6 and 5 (8 of 8 FG’s), and LeBron 13, 5 and 3. –
11:09 PM
Dave McMenamin @
mcten Lakers are getting dominated in their own building by the Bucks. Milwaukee is up 78-56 at the half. Giannis has 23 pts on 8-for-8 shooting already. Middleton has 21 on 8-for-13. –
11:08 PM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon Just your average 78-point half for the Milwaukee Bucks, who shot 68.2% to start this thing, including 9 for 16 on threes. Giannis hasn’t missed, and the Lakers trail by 22 at the break. –
11:08 PM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon LeBron reverse dunks on Giannis, then points at the official wanting a foul for the contact. Immediate tech. –
11:06 PM
Mark Medina @
MarkG_Medina LeBron James got T’d up. He’s been frustrated he hasn’t gotten calls after he’s attacked the basket all game. And LeBron let loose after Giannis wasn’t called for a foul. –
11:06 PM
Eric Nehm @
eric_nehm Giannis Antetokounmpo is 8-for-8 from the field with 20 points.
And he just got Anthony Davis on a 3-point pump fake. –
11:02 PM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon Giannis still hasn’t missed with two minutes to halftime. 7 for 7, and he just knocked down a 3-pointer in AD’s face. –
10:59 PM
Mirjam Swanson @
MirjamSwanson Reggie Jackson, minus his usual broad smile: “We understand what Memphis is about — they’re a tough, blue-collar team… when we play teams like this we understand we have to come out with a better mentality.” –
10:46 PM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon Giannis is 5 for 5, and Khris Middleton is 7 for 11. Great early showing by Milwaukee’s best guys. –
10:43 PM
Eric Nehm @
eric_nehm After one quarter, the Bucks lead, 38-24. Antetokounmpo with 13/5. Middleton with 11/2.

Jim Owczarski @
JimOwczarski Russell Westbrook has stepped out of bounds and traveled after taking his eye off a pass, Anthony Davis just watched an entry pass bounce off his hands out of bounds. –
10:30 PM
Eric Nehm @
eric_nehm Antetokounmpo is not happy. He had already blocked Davis and Westbrook. That would have been the third member of the Lakers’ big 3, but they called a foul and LeBron James will head to the line.
Bucks up, 17-12, with 6:55 left in the first quarter. –
10:14 PM
Mike Trudell @
LakersReporter Trevor Ariza ranks 32nd in NBA history in 3-pointers made, with 1,602, including one of LAL’s 4 to start this game, now tied at 12.
LeBron, meanwhile, ranks 11th with 2,083, including 2 tonight. –

Kane Pitman @
KanePitman Giannis with the poke away and then emphatic swat on AD as he tried to isolate and shoot a jumper. I audibly cracked up laughing at that sequence. –
10:10 PM
Eric Nehm @
eric_nehm Giannis Antetokounmpo blocks Russell Westbrook’s layup on one end and Khris Middleton dribbles the length of the floor for tonight’s first bucket. –
10:06 PM
Mark Medina @
MarkG_Medina First play of the Lakers-Bucks game: Giannis stuffs Westbrook at the rim; Middleton finishes with a fast-break layup. This could be a long night for the Lakers –
10:06 PM
Michael Singer @
msinger Bones Hyland really just stared down Kemba Walker, banged a 3-pointer and pointed at him. Maybe even colder than if Bones had caught a body. –
9:56 PM
Stefan Bondy @
SBondyNYDN Bones Hyland sent Kemba Walker to the floor with a stepback, buried a 3-pointer and pointed at Kemba.
Disrespectful. –
9:56 PM
Steve Popper @
StevePopper Kemba gets a forearm from Bones Hyland, tries for the offensive foul call. No call. While he’s sitting on the floor Hyland drains the 3 – and points to him. And it’s 66-43. –

Law Murray @
LawMurrayTheNU Reggie Jackson took a shot to the face, and no one is happy about that… Clippers had to burn a timeout because there was no foul, and Taylor Jenkins was wondering where the travel was.
Memphis up 75-61 with 9:38 left in third quarter. –

Andrew Greif @

Mark Medina @
MarkG_Medina With Spurs coach Gregg Popovich nearing the record for most NBA wins, Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer on whether his longevity & success can ever be done again. Bud: “It’s happening here in Milwaukee. Tonight, I got a 20-year contract. Giannis is going to play for 20. It’s over.” –

Duane Rankin @
DuaneRankin One of the things that tend to get overlooked about the
#76ers is Andre Drummond.
He’s not Joel Embiid, but he’s a load and this may the game Monty Williams ends up playing Ayton, McGee, and Biyombo if Ayton or McGee get in foul trouble.

Jason Calmes @
BourbonStShots One of the things that I think was always true of this franchise post-AD: they had tons of young players. Hard to win like that. FO is pushing its chips to the center of the table, so now is the time to judge based on results, whether good or bad. No more excuses either way. -MP –
