The host Milwaukee Bucks took down the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, 107 - 103. Milwaukee (34 - 34) broke even in the win and loss columns with Friday's victory. The star duo of wings, Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo, combined for 56 points on the night, more than half of Milwaukee's offensive output. Antetokounmpo added eight rebounds, five assists, and two blocks on the night. Middleton, meanwhile, was 11 - of - 18 from the field and 8 - of - 9 from the free - throw line. It was an impressive defensive night for the Bucks, as the team blocked nine shots in total. Los Angeles (20 - 49) continues to remain near the bottom of the league in terms of record. The team recently shut down veteran center Timofey Mozgov in order to give more play time to its young players. Julius Randle, the third - year forward, scored four points to go with 12 rebounds and eight assists in what was a nice night for the young star. As a team, LA functioned very well, as they dished out 24 assists on the night. They shot over 45 percent and made 11 three - pointers as well. The Bucks move up the coast to play at the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. The Lakers next play Sunday vs. the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers.
