The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks and clinched their first playoff berth since the 2012-13 NBA season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo made his presence felt early on, scoring 10 of the Bucks’ first 13 points in the first quarter. The Lakers struggled to get things going on the offensive end and converted just two of their first 12 field goal attempts.
Three consecutive baskets by Anthony Davis and LeBron James helped Los Angeles pull to within one point of Milwaukee at the 4:30 mark. The Bucks responded with five unanswered points, once again padding their lead as the Lakers’ shooting woes resurfaced.
