Wesley Matthews: Lakers Have Their ‘Work Cut Out’ Against Bucks

After a disappointing loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers now begin a seven-game road trip that kicks off with a huge matchup of championship favorites.

The Lakers start their road trip in Milwaukee against the Bucks, and that marks a homecoming for veteran Wesley Matthews. Matthews grew up in Wisconsin and attended the University of Marquette for four years.

He then returned there as a pro last season when he joined the Bucks and started every game, so he is very aware of what that team brings to the table.

“We’ve got to bounce back from that Golden State loss,” Matthews said.
