(LEARFIELD) LOS ANGELES – A 118-89 romp over the Los Angeles Lakers makes it look like Bucks coach Doc Rivers’ talk with his two superstars had a good effect.
Of course, it didn’t hurt that Los Angeles was without LeBron James and Luke Doncic.
Milwaukee got off to a hot start in the first period and controlled the game the rest of the way.
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 28 points. He got 23-point help from reserve guard Gary Trent Junior. Damian Lillard didn’t play.
Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma said the team is still working on team chemistry.
Kuzma said they didn’t take the Lakers lightly.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers said despite the convincing win, nothing is automatic.
Kuzma talked about what has kept the Bucks together despite losing 5 of their last 8 games.
The Bucks travel to Sacramento next.
