What an intense 4th Quarter battle between the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks.

Starting from around the 6-7 minute mark, every play of both team are crucial and a mistake can cost a turnaround event. It's like every possession is a must. Both teams also show good offense and they are literally exchanging leads. Everyone will be impressed too with how both teams show their good defense, especially those amazing blocks. Damn Giannis. He is really no doubt unstoppable and even defended well, he really nailing those shots at the paint. However, the Lakers were able to maintain their good phase until the final buzzer.

Actually, there's a chance for the Bucks to force an OT after Russel Westbrook missed his last free throw (he will surely be criticized if the Lakers lose that game even though his overall game is good ) and when Giannis grab the ball on their possession, he should not think twice to attack the paint as he is unstoppable and might draw a foul for a 3-point play. But instead, he passed it to Holiday for a 3-point attempt to tie the game but failed to do so.

I didn't expect that the Lakers would win, I mean Bucks were the heavy favorites in that game and they are hosting the Lakers. It was Davis and Lebron who carried this team but I'm afraid Davis might be prone to injury as he contribute very hard for the win, I can't imagine seeing Davis getting injured again, God forbib.

It was great effort for the whole Lakers squad, especially the big 3. Westbrook had himself a good game too filling the stat sheet with a double-double, and that underrated play down the stretch, where he dive for the ball and forced a turn over against Middleton, that also gave them a comfortable 5 point lead. Not the best defensive effort for the Lakers team as they primarily focused they're defense against Giannis, but they have a good offense too. So surprising to see Lebron and WB without a turnover.

Russell Westbrook played well unexpectedly. I mean, of course he has much more potential but he was not doing good in Lakers, he is getting much better, like his old self. And Anthony Davis is just such a valuable player. He is essential for Lakers. They must be begging the gods right now to let him stay healthy.
