Following their loss to the Brooklyn Nets Monday night, the Milwaukee Bucks had another top-heavy matchup on their hands as the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers strolled into town Thursday night.
With both Milwaukee and Los Angeles coming off losses, the intensity of this game was surely turned up a notch as each team tried to get back on the right track with a victory. After 48 frustrating minutes of action, the Bucks suffered their sixth defeat of the season with a 113-106 loss to the Lakers in primetime at Fiserv Forum.
