MILWAUKEE – Still bothered by his team’s lackluster play at the end of its last lengthy road trip in December, Luke Walton challenged his Los Angeles Lakers players to put out a better effort against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Walton came away satisfied as the Lakers concluded a five-game road trip with a 122-114 win Friday night.
”To be at the end of a road trip like this and for as hard as we worked in practice (on Thursday), for them to come out and give that type of effort from the jump, I was very pleased with the overall game,” Walton said.
Nick Young scored 26 points and the Lakers overcame a career-high 41 points by Giannis “Greek Freak” Antetokounmpo and withstood a furious late rally by the Bucks to finish the trip with a 2-3 record.
Young connected on his first eight shots from the field, including five 3-pointers. Lou Williams added 21 points for the Lakers, who led by as many as 27 before the Bucks, who trailed by 19 entering the fourth, rallied late, sparked by a 14-0 run.
”At the end of the day, you just want to win, especially against a team like the Lakers,” Antetokounmpo said. ”They aren’t a playoff team.” (AP)
