It's a trip that made the Lakers cringe a few teeth, but upon arrival, LeBron James and his teammates left with a smile. With 14 points from Rui Hachimura, and 11 points each from the LeBron-Davis tandem, the Lakers won 107-102 in Milwaukee. A success which owes everything to the replacements, including Armel Traoré (4 points in nine minutes).
In a series match (8-0 for LeBron James and his team, then 11-0 for the Bucks), the Lakers were trailing by six points at the break (58-52). A first half marked by a monstrous counterattack, a “chasedown block”, from Giannis Antetokounmpo on the “King” himself.
Zero points for Bronny
With Anthony Davis holding in the 3rd quarter, JJ Redick's players will equalize, then gradually let go. To the point of being led by 15 points at the start of the last quarter. This is the moment chosen by the players at the end of the bench to let loose with Quincy Olivari and Maxwell Lewis who connect 3-points. Result, a 20-0 which allows them to take control and win by five points (107-102).
Still on the Lakers side, Gabe Vincent, finally recovered, contributed a lot with his external skill and his activity. On the other hand, Bronny James got through it with 0 out of 4 on shots in six minutes.
