Halftime: Lakers 66, Bucks 58
That was LA’s best half of the season — scoring at will against an elite defense. Anthony Davis has 23 points and was the best player on the floor. LeBron James has 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. The Lakers have 17 assists and 3 turnovers. – 8:49 PM

Considering the opponent, their road struggles all year and how well all three of LeBron/AD/Russ looked, that was probably the best half of basketball the Lakers have played all season. – 8:44 PM

Easily the best half of basketball the Lakers have played this season. And to start a six-game road trip, no less. LAL goes into halftime up 66-58 on MIL. AD has 23p on 11-of-14 shooting; LeBron 10p 5r 4a; Westbrook 9p 8a. – 8:44 PM

Feels like the Lakers came here to make a statement in a nationally televised game against a known contender. Anthony Davis scoring at will; LeBron engaged defensively; Russ with one of his best playmaking stints; the Lakers’ scheme has contained Giannis reasonably well (9pts). – 8:36 PM

Terrific start to the 2nd Q from LAL, who use an 8-3 run to force a time out, leading 41-34.
LeBron has 6 of the 8 points, both on Westbrook assists leading him to the rim after LeBron’s rolled off a screen. – 8:22 PM

LeBron as the roller has been so deadly tonight, and it helps that Russ has really emphasized playmaking lately. – 8:21 PM

LeBron is defending Giannis. Keep an eye on that matchup. LeBron’s had some success on Giannis in the last, and has typically been a better matchup for him than even Anthony Davis in Lakers-Bucks game. – 8:18 PM

Bron is the only powerful athlete to voluntarily speak out about Jerry Jones, and he ain’t ever played in the NFL. Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, hell… Bill Belichick, they never speak out on nothing when it comes to racial matters! When are they gonna get held accountable? – 1:48 PM

Warriors on NBCS: Steve Kerr jokes he’ll toast Draymond for passing MJ in career 3-pointers made. -via Twitter / December 4, 2022
How much longer you going to play in the NBA? Draymond Green: I want to play another four or five more years. That would be enough for me. -via Andscape / December 2, 2022
Magic Johnson: Congratulations to one of the best ever to lace them up, LeBron James, for passing me to become 6th all-time on the NBA’s career assists list!! The affect you’ve had on basketball will last for generations to come! -via Twitter @MagicJohnson / December 3, 2022
LA Lakers: LeBron James (left ankle soreness) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday’s game against Washington. Anthony Davis (low back tightness) is probable and Dennis Schroeder (personal reasons) is questionable. -via HoopsHype / December 3, 2022
Jorge Sierra: LEBRON JAMES More points than Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. More assists than Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson. More steals than Allen Iverson and Karl Malone. More rebounds than two-time rebounding champion DeAndre Jordan. More blocks than Bill Walton. -via Twitter @hoopshype / December 3, 2022
James Plowright: Clifford on Antetekounmpo “From the first time you saw him play, the thing that stood out to me is how he competes on every dribble… Even now, he never takes a possession off… People say that’s how Michael (Jordan) was, that’s how Kobe was… There’s nothing more important” -via Twitter @British_Buzz / December 3, 2022
