Milwaukee Bucks wasted their 19-point lead and ended up losing to the depleted Los Angeles Lakers, angering Antetokounmpo
Again, Giannis Antetokounmpo made no point of hiding his frustration and indignation with yet another defeat for Milwaukee Bucksthis time against the embezzled Los Angeles Lakers. The Wisconsin team opened up a 19-point lead in the last quarter, but ended up giving in to the Angelinos’ recovery within their own Fiserv Forum. The Californian franchise ended up managing to win in the second overtime, even though they were missing LeBron James. For the Greek star, the match needs to teach several important lessons.
“We have to watch the video of this game, because there is a lot to learn here. We need to understand why we can’t stop them. Furthermore, why don’t we move the ball with quality in decisive possessions? And how can we explain why we lost so many balls in which the will was decisive, the ’50-50′, for example? We have to see the reasons why we lost, to summarize”said the two-time NBA MVP.

But the problem certainly wasn’t just Giannis, who recorded his ninth triple-double of the season, with 29 points, 21 rebounds and 11 assists. However, at the same time, he only converted one of six free throws and had seven attacking errors. A statistic that also caught attention was the number of fouls the Bucks committed, which committed more than twice as many as their opponents.
“We need to understand and correct the mistakes we made. I feel like there were possessions where our centers weren’t that close to the rim. With that, we let them get into the paint and get dunks and free throws. I think we played so lukewarm, in fact, that it cost us the victory. It was about ten or 15 points ‘given’ for free that decided the match.”shot.
