With 10 games left last year, LAL were 35-37, the 11th seed in West, 1 game back of 7th.
With 10 games left this year, LAL are 40-32, the 9 seed, 2 games back of 7th (though SAC has the tiebreaker).
LAL finished 2023 8-2 to get up to 7th. We’ll see how they close 2024. – 1:59 AM

I get why Lakers fans don’t want Darvin to coach this team anymore. I agree the organization does need to at least consider moving in another direction. But if you can’t even give him props for believing in his team tonight, respectfully, you’re just kinda being an asshole. AK – 1:08 AM

Two nights in a row the Celtics and then the Bucks have losses that make you question them just a little bit.

@LakersReporter
LAL had a similarly thrilling Double OT win at the start of their last long road trip, at GSW, but then lost the next 2. Reaves said they’re well aware of that.
They’re hoping to get LeBron (ankle) back at Memphis, which would certainly help a ton if he’s able to go. – 11:36 PM

Only Lakers to turn this feat with 3 or fewer TOs are Reaves and LeBron. Not even Magic & Kobe. Reaves is the only Laker who’s ever done it twice. pic.twitter.com/ZvRF2GAfrt – 11:18 PM

You can always find the most emotionally unstable Bucks fans by checking @TCIIIESQ and @SparkyRadio’s retweets during their respective postgame shows. Losses suck –especially one like tonight — but they don’t need to trigger an existential crisis. Go for a walk or something. – 11:18 PM

Pretty wild: It took 72 games, but for the first time all season, Anthony Davis attempted six or more 3s after Darvin Ham encouraged him to average that many during the preseason.

LAL leads 111-108 with 2:17 to go in OT after 3s by AD and Dinwiddie.

Upon review, the Lakers will have 0.8 seconds left for their final possession. – 9:58 PM
@jovanbuha
Giannis draws a foul with 2.6 seconds left. Timeout Bucks. The Lakers are fuming that a travel wasn’t called on Giannis. LeBron James just came out to halfcourt during the timeout to speak with the refs. – 9:56 PM
@eric_nehm
Giannis Antetokoumpo dribble handoff to Damian Lillard gets a switch. Lillard, covered by AD, swings it to Antetokounmpo, who attacks off the bounce.
Dinwiddie fouled on the drive. The Lakers had one to give. So, it’s now Bucks ball with 2.6 seconds left and a tie at 101. – 9:56 PM
@LakersReporter
Beasley made contact with Russell on the arm and the face, but no foul was called, so the Bucks challenged the play for possession, and won it, since Russell technically touched it last. Tough ruling for the Lakers. – 9:53 PM
@Krisplashed
Late to this game but how does AD not get the ball with the game on the line – 9:52 PM
@LakersReporter
Reaves – who’s 1 assist shy of a triple-double – got LAL within 2 with a 3 from Madison.
Prince then tied the game up at 101 with a pair of FT’s with 43.9 seconds to play.
LAL have outscored MIL 27-13 in the 4th Q. – 9:50 PM
@LakersReporter
Davis has been laboring throughout the 4th Q after appearing to bang knees with Middleton earlier in the period, but he’s battling through it. – 9:49 PM
@johnhollinger
Odd for Lopez to cut into the play when Middleton had DLo in jail on the block. – 9:48 PM
@LakersReporter
Another 20-20 night for Anthony Davis, who has 29 points with his 20 boards after hitting his 2nd 4th Q 3.
LAL trail by 5 with 1:40 to play. – 9:46 PM
@KamBrothers
Austin Reaves is an experience, man. The swings can be insane. You gotta strap in to watch him on an 82-game basis. AK – 9:44 PM

LAL have held Milwaukee to just 8 points so far in the 4th Q. – 9:42 PM
@LakersReporter
LAL are within 5 behind a 16-2 run capped by B2B Reaves layups and a Davis 3, with Doc Rivers calling for time at the 4:34 mark of the 4th Q.
LAL were down 19 with 7:59 left at 94-75, but it’s now 96-91. – 9:41 PM
@mcten
The Lakers have cut it to five – 96-91 – with AD and AR, in particular, making plays on both ends in the 4th. Timeout Milwaukee with 4:34 to go. – 9:41 PM

Bucks-Lakers running late, so Mavs-Kings will start at least four minutes later than scheduled. Now scheduled to tip off in 24 minutes. – 9:33 PM

Austin Reaves’ 3-pointer cuts the deficit to 12, 94-82, with 6:56 left. Timeout Bucks. – 9:33 PM

This has been a particularly rough Taurean Prince game. He’s just 3-for-10 with as many turnovers (3) as made shots. – 9:32 PM

A 4-0 run from Milwaukee and LA responds with a quick timeout. They trail 92-74 with 9:52 left. – 9:24 PM
@jovanbuha
Third quarter: Bucks 88, Lakers 74
LA has struggled to close the last two quarters. AD has 18 points (on just 7-of-23 FGs) and 16 rebounds. DLo has 18 points and 7 assists. Austin Reaves has 13/6/5. Turnovers (10-7) and pace (20-2 edge in fastbreak points) have gone MIL’s way. – 9:19 PM

A pair of Reaves O boards led to a pair of Russell 3’s early in the 3rd Q, and Russell added his 3rd triple of the period at the 9:01 mark to force a Bucks time out with LAL down 8.
Russell was 0 for 2 from 3 in the 1st half, after drilling 9 3’s vs. MIL in L.A. 2 weeks ago. – 8:57 PM

Halftime: Bucks 58, Lakers 42
LA trailed by six points midway through the second quarter but was outscored 17-7 over the final 5:18. AD has 12 points (4-13 FGs, 4-4 FTs) and 9 rebounds. Rui Hachimura has 12 points and 5 rebounds. AR/DLo/Spencer are a combined 3 of 16 (18.8%). – 8:35 PM
@LakersReporter
Poor clock management from the Lakers in the final minute helped the Bucks push their lead back to 16, after LAL had trimmed it to as few as 6 midway through the period.
LAL weren’t sharp, shooting only 33.3% in the half, with Russell/Reaves/Dinwiddie combining to go 3 for 16. – 8:35 PM
@OlehKosel
Naji Marshall’s short middy/floater game has been on point for at least several games now. – 8:33 PM
@LakersReporter
Davis and Hachimura have 12 points apiece, but LAL will need more from their starting guard trio of Russell (4), Dinwiddie (0) and Reaves (3) to get back into the game.
LAL trail 49-40 with 2:38 left in the 2nd Q. – 8:30 PM
@royceyoung
Among that many incredible defensive things about Lu Dort, he goes from guarding Damian Lillard two nights ago to guarding Zion tonight.
And that’s Dort’s nightly job. He’s No. 1 in the NBA in BBallIndex Matchup Difficulty stat (an estimate of how good of players you guard). – 8:23 PM
@LakersReporter
The Lakers have trimmed what was as much as a 19-point deficit down to 8 at 39-31 midway through the 2nd Q. – 8:21 PM

Josh Giddey was OKC’s leading scorer vs the Bucks.

Six months in, three weeks to go, the Milwaukee Bucks and Damian Lillard believe they are peaking at the proverbial right time. But that trade required adjustments and patience from multiple teams. nba.com/news/bucks-dam… – 8:09 PM

LAL couldn’t find a rhythm on offense throughout a rough 1st Q with LeBron in street clothes, hitting only 7 of 25 FG’s (0 of 6 from 3), and trail the Bucks 32-16.
Milwaukee hit 4 of 9 triples. – 8:06 PM
@jovanbuha
First quarter: Bucks 32, Lakers 16
LA is shooting 28% and is 0 of 6 on 3s. AD has 8 points and 4 rebounds. LA is struggling to get downhill and finish over the Bucks’ length. AR/DLo/Spencer are a combined 1-of-10. The ball isn’t pinging around how it normally does w/o LeBron. – 8:06 PM
@mcten
Anthony Davis follows up his own miss with a dunk at the buzzer. LAL trails MIL 32-16 after 1Q. The Lakers shot 6-for-24 in the opening frame. – 8:05 PM

After one quarter, the Bucks lead 32-16.
The Lakers were 7-of-25 from the field in the first quarter on a strong defensive effort from the Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis leading the Bucks with 7 points a piece. Damian Lillard not far behind with 6 points. – 8:04 PM

Milwaukee is up 17-4 midway through the 1st Q.
Some of these LAL misses haven’t had a chance. – 7:50 PM
@jovanbuha
The Bucks open with a 12-2 lead with 7:26 left in the first quarter. LA is 1 of 10 from the floor. Rui Hachimura is the only Laker that’s scored. – 7:45 PM
@eric_nehm
That’s about as good of early action as the Bucks can run.
Giannis Antetokounmpo brings it down, looks for the DHO with Lillard, denied, so he skips a spot to Brook Lopez in the corner. Gets it back from Lopez, goes right back to Lillard. Rolls middle. Kicks to Beasley. Triple. – 7:44 PM
@LakersReporter
LAL could scarcely have started this road trip any colder, getting only 1 make in 10 attempts, to trail 12-2.
Meanwhile, a full 31 seconds went by between the 1st Giannis FT make, and the 2nd (a miss). – 7:44 PM
@LakersReporter
LAL will need to make jump shots to beat the Bucks, but they start 0 for 6 from the perimeter, with a Hachimura dunk off an offensive rebound the only bucket so far as they trail 6-2 to start in Milwaukee. – 7:39 PM
@KamBrothers
Interesting. I expected, even with Darvin’s propensity for going small, that Reddish would start in LeBron’s place as more of a direct matchup against Middleton. But there’s also an argument for more skill players and leaning into their offense. We shall see. AK – 7:38 PM
