Three small games this Thursday in the NBA, but a very tempting Bucks / Lakers to have a good time. LeBron James vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo? It is again the King who wins, and with a totally insolent basket at the end.
When LeBron James crosses the road of Giannis Antetokounmpo, we know in advance that the meeting should be interesting. This was the case this Thursday night with a close game between Lakers and Bucks, but as often, it is Frank Vogel’s men who take the best: 113-106.
Milwaukee could blame himself for ending the game badly, despite a Greek Freak with 25 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists. He mostly committed 9 losses of ball and some airballs in passing. Their attacking game has been mixed since the start of the season, and it has been felt against the best team in the league.
Opposite, no mercy for LeBron James, author of a mammoth game: 34 points to 13/25 shooting and 6/10 to three points, plus 8 assists and 6 rebounds. He was clearly keen to win this meeting, the proof with his clutch shot in the last moments. Best of all? His small gesture with his right hand, which shows that his shot was about to return.

Even before the ball went in, LeBron was sure he was going to come in. Good for him, because otherwise the sequence would have ended very badly. The King has in any case assumed his status with a good performance and the dagger to offer victory to his people.
When LeBron James plays like this, not much can happen to the Lakers. A treat to watch, and even Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn’t do much about it.
