By a score of 133-129, the Lakers prevailed over the Bucks.

Anthony Davis' performance was the best of many noteworthy ones in the game. If there was any doubt that his recent streak of excellent play would hold up against a team with a frontcourt as intimidating and defensively dominant as Milwaukee's, AD put any doubts to rest with an utterly dominant performance, scoring 44 points on 18-27 shooting in addition to grabbing 10 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks.

Davis started the game shooting — and making — his jump shot, forcing the defence to respect him as a scorer from every point on the floor because Milwaukee was able to defend the paint. After that, AD used that defensive focus to produce shots that were going downhill and into the paint, scoring with quick runs, hook jumpers, and strong dunks both on his own and after receiving passes from his team.
