Lakers Buck'd in OT Wednesday

*Playing catch up. I apologize for not delivering any of these on time and a lot of factors are playing into that (semester long research paper, semester long presentation, an upcoming essay, etc). Just to let people know I have a life outside this blog. So expect a lot of me being behind in quick recaps and possibly contracting some  more coverage of nationally televised games. Again, I apologize and hopefully things get back to normal ASAP and I have to play a big role in making that happen.*

8 players from the Bucks vs. a full 10-man rotation for the Lakers and the Bucks still win. Carlos Boozer was the top performer on Wednesday with 28 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists on 13-21 shooting, but the Lakers couldn't find a way to get the win as the Bucks beat the Lakers 105-113 with 20+ point performances from four Bucks players (Mayo, Knight, Antetokounmpo, and Middleton). Wayne Ellington added 19 points and Robert Sacre scored 10 points to round out the Lakers starters in double figures. Nick Young and Jeremy Lin joined Boozer in dropping double figure point totals off the bench with Young scoring 16 points and Lin adding 11 points despite a horrid 2-12 shooting. Ed Davis didn't join them in scoring double-figure points, but he was a monster on the boards, grabbing a career high 20 rebounds (good for my fantasy team, even though this season's pretty much a lost cause).

Final Score: @ Milwaukee 105-113 (OT) [L]
