<p>After weathering a few early Dwight Howard dunks, the Milwaukee Bucks settled into a groove, beating the Los Angeles Lakers 113-103 on Thursday night to snap a four-game losing streak.</p> <p> </p>
<p>It always feels good to beat the <a href="https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Los Angeles Lakers</a>, doesn't it?</p>
<p>On Thursday night, the <a href="https://www.brewhoop.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Milwaukee Bucks</a> snapped their four game losing streak, <a href="http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/3/28/4159234/bucks-lakers-final-score-kobe-bryant-monta-ellis-larry-sanders">beating the Lakers 113-103</a>. From about halfway through the second quarter on to the final buzzer, Los Angeles looked every bit the part of the Western Conference Methuselah. They struggled to recover on pick-and-rolls, failed to match the Bucks' energy on the glass, and made the Bucks' look like the <a href="https://www.thedreamshake.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Houston Rockets</a> in transition.</p>
<p>Beating the Lakers certainly isn't what it used to be (along the same vein of the <a href="https://www.celticsblog.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Boston Celtics</a>), but playing in front of a mostly purple and gold crowd, the Bucks starters turned in their best collaborative effort of the season.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"We did a really nice job defensively on a main part of their game, and that is taking away some of those easy baskets that (Dwight) Howard gets. It was one of our better games recently," coach Jim Boylan said. "It's something for us to build on. They're a big team, they play a certain style, and they try to pound it inside if they can. ...but i thought our attention to detail was a little bit better.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not 24 hours ago, we were talking about the locker room shrapnel exploding from <a href="http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/3/28/4157482/brandon-jennings-benched-accountability-jim-boylan">Brandon Jennings' post-game comments</a> Wednesday night. It's amazing how quickly a narrative changes game-to-game. Of this, the Bucks are seasoned veterans.</p>
<h3>Three Bucks</h3>
<p><b><span>Larry Sanders</span>.</b> We pay constant homage to Sanders' defense, but it was his offense that propelled Milwaukee to their first victory in over a week. Scoring 20+ points for the first time in his career, Sanders dove hard off pick and rolls, registered between five and 500 dunks, had nary a complaint about the occasional suspect call from the referees, and tallied his ninth double-double in 10 games.</p>
<p><b><span>Marquis Daniels</span>.</b> Tasked with defending <span>Kobe Bryant</span> (30 pts, 6-17 fg, 18-20 ft, 3 asts, 2 rbs, 6 to), Daniels was inevitably on the receiving end of ref whistles, often dispelling that energy with frenetic pacing and jersey chewing after each call. However, when Kobe pushed, Daniels pushed back harder,<b> </b>and it was frustrating enough for the Lakers' impending all-time leading scorer that over half of his points had to come from charitable donations<b>. </b>Daniels was also solid in spurts on offense, hitting a big three during Milwaukee's third quarter comeback and executing a fourth quarter dagger of a wraparound lay-in that defied physics and drew a foul.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Marquis has been playing really well, Obviously tonight you saw what he can bring to the table for you, from a defensive standpoint. He made some plays, made some shots," Boylan said. "I thought it was the difference in the game for us, trying to keep Kobe in check, as much as you can keep him in check. Marquis made him work. He's got a big body, strong, he leans on him, so it was a great effort by him."</p>
</blockquote>
<p><b><span>Brandon Jennings</span>.</b> After the world collapsed on the Bucks' enigmatic point guard, Jennings bounced back with a solid game, connecting on a couple essential second-half three pointers that either gave Milwaukee a lead or extended it. More noteworthy, he did not play the game's final six minutes. There is a logical explanation though:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Brandon played great tonight. I took him out. I had every intention of putting Brandon back in the game. But the game started to roll in our favor, and I didn't want to mess with the chemistry we had out on the court," Boylan said. "Not that I didn't trust Brandon to come out and play well. ... I just felt our matchups were good, the guys were kind of in a groove, nobody was fatigued, nobody had played too long. So, it was just an unfortunate thing that he didn't get back in."</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><b>Three Numbers</b></h3>
<p><b>95.</b> The Bucks starters combined to score 84% of the team's 113 points on the night. Even better, that number was built on 54% shooting and 42.8% from beyond the arc.</p>
<p><b>8.</b> For some reason, <span>Monta Ellis</span> just gets buckets in the fourth quarter. With his eight points on 4-7 shots against the Lakers, Ellis is averaging 56.5% shooting overall and 54.5% on threes in the fourth over his last five games.</p>
<p><b>30.</b> Transition scoring is fun when you have the personnel for leak-outs and quick shots; and you're facing an opponent with heavy legs. In particular, this game featured a lot of highlights, including <span>Ersan Ilyasova's</span> perfectly placed full court, Hail Mary pass to Monta Ellis for a lay-in, a couple steals and open court dunks from Daniels and Ellis, and Jennings' patented fake behind the back pass-to-quick dump off.</p>
<h3>Three Bad</h3>
<p><b>Kobe Jerseys.</b> We counted roughly 12 different variations of #8 and #24. That's not including the Hong Kong specials.</p>
<p><b>Tired?</b> The Lakers have yet to win both ends of a back-to-back this season. That has something to do with their age (<span>Steve Nash</span> didn't play the final six minutes of this game) and the fact that they haven't put together those expected sustained runs of brilliance. It doesn't cheapen the win, but it puts it into a semi-sobering perspective.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://www.welcometoloudcity.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Thunder</a> Rolling In.</b> It's Friday, and you've got an obligation to get down. We'll worry about Saturday on Saturday.</p>
<h3>Three Good</h3>
<p><b>Fourth quarter.</b> In their last two games (against the <a href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Atlanta Hawks</a> and Phialdelphia <a href="https://www.libertyballers.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">76ers</a>), the Bucks <a href="http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/3/24/4143488/bucks-vs-hawks-recap-a-familiar-deja-poo">shot 34.6%</a> <a href="http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/3/27/4154968/bucks-final-score-sixers-sink-sagging-bucks-100-92">and 31.6%</a> from the field in the final quarter, respectively. But against the Lakers, a team that has the game's best center calling shots in the paint and a renowned closer, the Bucks shoot 54.5% and pull away comfortably with three minutes remaining. I have no idea what's going on.</p>
<p><b>Offensive boards.</b> This was a game where offensive rebounds felt inevitable. Credit Ilyasova and Sanders for their positioning on the shot, but quite a few just bounced right into the waiting hands of a Buck. Second chances never hurt anyone, right?</p>
<p><b>Larry Sanders.</b> With 36.3 seconds left and the Bucks up eight, Sanders motioned for increased crowd noise, and was happily obliged. Those are the <a href="http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/3/25/4139614/larry-sanders-ejection-technical-suspension-fine">emotions</a> we like to see worn on Sanders' sleeve. Also, this:</p>

<p>Keep diving, Larry.</p>

<p>The Bucks snapped out of their funk with a solid performance at home to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers. Milwaukee got a number of excellent offensive performances from the starting lineup.</p> <p>With a season-high five-game losing streak staring them in the face, the <a href="https://www.brewhoop.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Milwaukee Bucks</a> finally showed consistent energy from start to finish and knocked off the <a href="https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Los Angeles Lakers</a> 113-103. Every Milwaukee starter scored at least 16 points and only <span>Ersan Ilyasova</span> (20 pts, 4 steals) made less than half of his shots. <span>Larry Sanders</span> led the Bucks with a career-high 21 points on 8-11 shooting and grabbed 13 rebounds. <span>Monta Ellis</span> starred in the fourth quarter again, finishing with 18 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds while shooting 8-16. <span>Brandon Jennings</span>, one night removed from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/3/28/4157482/brandon-jennings-benched-accountability-jim-boylan">his first ever scoreless game and a night fraught with drama</a>, turned in a solid performance with an efficient 20 points and 7 assists against just 2 turnovers.</p>

<p>The Bucks weathered an early blitz under the basket as the Lakers went inside to their big men over and over again. <span>Dwight Howard</span> bullied his way in for dunks while <span>Pau Gasol</span> displayed his elite skills in the post against Ilyasova, who just can't seem to catch a break when it comes to defensive assignments. The Bucks scored just 18 points in the first quarter as they tried to slow down LA with a defensive lineup, but the Lakers were able to earn plenty of free throws to offset Milwaukee's dug-in defense. A much stronger second quarter cut the halftime deficit to 3 and the Bucks kept things rolling from there, winning the final two quarters handily to earn the 10-point victory.</p>
<p>The Lakers got 30 points from <span>Kobe Bryant</span> who sank 18 of his 20 free-throw attempts but shot just 6-17 from the field and committed 6 turnovers. The Bucks did a great job challenging him on every shot, and might have fared even better if not for a few questionable calls (tonight's officials likely didn't win any fans in Milwaukee). Dwight Howard had 15 points and 15 rebounds but missed 7 of his 10 attempts at the stripe, and the Lakers as a whole struggled with ball control, turning it over 18 times. The Bucks took advantage with 30 fast break points. It was a tough loss for the Lakers, who missed an opportunity to extend their lead over the <a href="https://www.slcdunk.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Jazz</a> and <a href="https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Mavericks</a> for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The win keeps Milwaukee 2 games behind the <a href="https://www.celticsblog.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Celtics</a> for the East's seventh seed.</p>
<p>Milwaukee has a day off before welcoming the <a href="https://www.welcometoloudcity.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.nba.com/bucks/90s">and Vanilla Ice</a>) to the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Saturday at 7:30. The Lakers play in Sacramento later that night.</p>

<p><b>Lakers Update</b>. Los Angeles snapped its own losing streak last night, beating the <a href="https://www.canishoopus.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> 120-117 behind Kobe Bryant's 31 points and Dwight Howard's 25 point, 16 rebound double-double. But the finish in that game remains dubious <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2013/3/28/4156472/kobe-bryant-lakers-foul-ricky-rubio-timberwolves" target="_blank">thanks to an apparent missed call</a> on Bryant as <span>Ricky Rubio</span> attempted a game-tying three. Since the NBA today <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2013/3/28/4157452/kobe-bryant-foul-minnesota-timberwolves" target="_blank">acknowledged that a foul should have been called</a>, reactions have been about what you'd expect. There's no guarantee the Lakers would have lost the game had Rubio been sent to the line (in fact, the odds would have still been in their favor), but considering a loss would have dropped them into a tie with Utah for the 8th spot in the Western Conference, it's easy to view this incident as <i>kind of a big deal</i>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile LA is dealing with yet another significant injury, as <span>Metta World Peace</span> underwent surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus. He is expected to miss at least six weeks. <a href="https://www.brewhoop.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Bucks</a> second-round pick Jodie Meeks has been inserted into the starting lineup as a replacement. Meeks had 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists against the Timberwolves, but shot just 2-7 from the field.</p>
<p><b>Streaks Ahead</b>. Milwaukee's loss was hardly the most high-profile of the night on Wednesday. That honor belongs to the <a href="https://www.hothothoops.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Miami Heat</a>,<a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/2013/3/27/4154344/nba-schedule-2013-heat-streak-bulls"> who suffered a 101-97 defeat</a> at the hands of the <a href="https://www.blogabull.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Chicago Bulls</a> that snapped their 27-game winning streak and marked their first loss since February 1st. But in terms of tangible effects on the NBA landscape, <a href="http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/3/27/4155582/bucks-vs-sixer-recap-gameday-jrue-holiday-monta-ellis" target="_blank">the Bucks' 100-92 loss was much more meaningful</a>. Milwaukee has now dropped four straight games and must take down a somewhat-reinvigorated Lakers team to avoid their worst slide of the season. And then it's the <a href="https://www.welcometoloudcity.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Thunder</a> after that.</p>
<p><b>Hollywood, Meet Drama</b>. Early in the second half, after he committed his second shooting foul on <a href="https://www.libertyballers.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">76ers</a> point guard <span>Jrue Holiday</span> in less than 3 minutes, coach <span>Jim Boylan</span> sent Brandon Jennings to the bench...where he remained for the rest of the game. <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516590&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jsonline.com%2Fblogs%2Fsports%2F200350901.html&referrer=sbnation.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brewhoop.com%2F2013%2F3%2F28%2F4155082%2Fbucks-vs-lakers-preview-bucks-host-lakers-in-midst-of-slide" target="_blank" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener">And Jennings was none too pleased about it</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I don't see any all-stars in this locker room so I think everybody should be held accountable, like anybody else. There's no maxed-out players in this locker room; there's no all-stars. So don't try to put me on a pedestal and just give everybody else the freedom to do whatever they want.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Let's look past the part where Jennings got benched because he was doing a pretty terrible job at preventing Holiday from doing pretty much whatever he wanted. Let's look past the part where Jennings' own offense has been mostly nonexistent over the last few games. Jennings' gripe here is wildly inconsistent with most everything he's said and done in the past <i>other than his wild inconsistency</i>. The guy who has talked openly about being the Face of the Franchise doesn't want to be put on a pedestal? The guy who is openly angling to be a max-level player and clearly wants to be an All-Star is now leaning on the fact that he is neither? I don't fault Jennings for wanting those things--any player would, and realistically every player should. If you're not playing with the intention of being the best possible version of yourself, you probably don't belong in the NBA. And there's an element of truth to what he says as well: maybe everybody should stop treating Jennings like a potential star who isn't holding up his end of the bargain and <a href="http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/3/4/4065606/why-its-still-so-hard-to-give-up-on-brandon-jennings" target="_blank">just accept that he's a talented player with some obvious flaws</a> (I know, <i>says the guy who still can't settle on one answer</i>). But it can't keep vacillating between the two every second of every day like some sort of subatomic soap opera. Jennings wants to be treated with supreme respect and given the luxuries that come with it, but in this instance he looks like a police officer standing next to a house fire, casually telling the public "not my jurisdiction."</p>
