A 20-point lead in this league now, it’s nothing because of the way the offense is right now – Anthony Davis after OT win vs. Milwaukee Bucks

The Lakers will next face the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.The Los Angeles Lakers trailed by 16 points against the Milwaukee Bucks after the first quarter. The second and third quarter was neck to neck between the two teams but the Lakers out-scored the opposition by 27-13 in the final frame to take the game into overtime on Tuesday night.

At the end of two OTs, the Lakers defeated the Bucks by 128-124. Austin Reaves had 29 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists in 47 minutes in the absence of injured LeBron James.

“It was one of those moments that you could either flip the page to tomorrow, get ready for that game or you could go out and compete 110% and give yourself an opportunity or at least try to give yourself an opportunity to get back in the game,” Reaves said.

Furthermore, Anthony Davis scored 34 points and 23 rebounds while playing 52 minutes despite dealing with a knee problem late in the game.

“A 20-point lead in this league now, it’s nothing because of the way the offense is right now in the league, so high-powered that you can wipe away a lead pretty fast,” Davis said.

On the other hand, Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo had 29 points, a season-high 21 rebounds and 11 assists. The Greek Freak said they must learn from their mistakes in the upcoming matches.

“We’ve got to watch this game, learn from this game,” Antetokounmpo said. “Watch why we weren’t able to get a stop. Watch why the ball wasn’t moving down the stretch. Watch why we lost the game. Watch why there was a lot of 50-50 balls and we weren’t able to get them.”

Damian Lillard also admitted that it is tough to keep the lead if they don’t stay disciplined as the opposition can cash in.

“Sometimes the ball just bounces different, and if you don’t stay disciplined and do the things that go into how we built that lead, those leads can go away quick in this league with the shooting that’s in the league, like they did tonight,” Lillard said. “That’s what happened.”
