- Updated: December 16, 2015
The Milwaukee Bucks were coming off a very historical win in their last contest, but the Lakers came up with the victory, 113-95. The Bucks ended the Golden State Warriors streak at 24 wins to start the season, and this might have been a bit of an over-looked game for Milwaukee.
Los Angeles returned home for a very nice win over the Bucks, in a very impressive style. This was one of the most complete victories of the season.
Our superstar Kobe Bryant, led this team in scoring with 22 points, on just 7 of 15 shooting from the floor. D’Angelo Russell, who came off the Lakers bench and received a huge amount of playing time, 30 minutes, scored 19 points and added 7 assist to lead the team in that category. The Lakers sixth-man Julius Randle, had an outstanding game, a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds, shooting 50% from the floor and a perfect 100% from the foul line, this was one of the biggest keys to the Lakers win.

A very impressive win, started by a few simple things. Los Angeles took total control on the boards. The numbers were very nice, out rebounding Milwaukee, 52-38 and on the offensive side, 18-12.
