GAME NOTES

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led 30-28. LA got some solid bench minutes from Mamu, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Williams. The Lakers were shaky on the defensive glass (six offensive rebounds for the Bucks) and in transition. Milwaukee generated good looks early.

At halftime, the Lakers increased their lead to 61-50. LA outscored the Bucks 16-8 to close the first half to take a double-digit lead. LA did a better job defensively in the second quarter, only allowing one offensive rebound.

At the end of three quarters, the Lakers’ lead ballooned to 94-73. LA outscored Milwaukee 33-23 in the third. This is where Reaves exited, who appeared to tweak something on a dunk and subbed himself out.

Then Doncic went down and was in pain after being fouled by Kuzma on a 2-pointer. Doncic fell to the floor and was clutching his right ankle after shooting a long two with Kuzma closing out. After an official’s review, they determined Kuzma fouled Doncic “leg to leg” but it was not upgraded to a flagrant foul.

Post-Game

Lakers head coach JJ Redick did not sound worried about the ankle that knocked Doncic out of the fourth quarter. “Luka I think is fine. Just a light tweak,” Redick said.

Mamukelashvili, who filled the box score against the team where his NBA career started, said his all-around game goes back to his childhood. “I feel like that’s how I always wanted to play. Even when I was young, creating 2K players, I would always try the all-around guy,” Mamukelashvili said. (Quotes via Lakers Nation and ClutchPoints.)
