Other than the foul the Lakers had to end the game with 2 seconds left, that's the first foul on the Lakers in about 10 minutes of game time.
That was pretty. Ball started in the post and rotated along the perimeter.
Bucks by 2 and Dame hits the corner 3
13.6 seconds left.
Foul on Middleton his 5th - Russell hits both FTs. Tied again. 3 seconds left
Middleton with a dumb reach in call
He’s not had a good night
Win this one now
AD blocks Lillard. Double OT
Davis playing the game of his career
He’ll probably go on the IR after this game
The Bucks have been called for 24 fouls.
The Lakers have been called for 11 - in a double OT game.
Reggie Miller hates Milwaukee.
Really, really bad loss if this holds, but the foul disparity is unbelievable.
These refs can eat shit
Portis mugged twice no call
They had their chances....never cashed in. Practically every game the Bucks have played since the All-Star break has been playoff type baksetball

The Lakers had one foul called against them the entire 4th quarter until the intentional foul with 3 seconds left.
It’s as blatant of a hatchet job by the refs as I can recall. Go back to beginning of the 4Q through 2 OTs. Complete bullshit. I think LA had 2 fouls over that entire span. Lol

They don't want Milwaukee winning. They hate that Giannis is in Milwaukee. They hate that Dame is in Milwaukee. They all hate it
AD hits his FT, Giannis misses his. That's the one thing AD is better than Giannis at.
WTF Doc? Why call timeout down 4 with 1.7 seconds left. It's just stupid.

Lead over the Cavs is down to 2 games and I think the Cavs win the tie-breaker.
Anthony Davis played for 52 minutes and didn't get called for a foul until there was 24 seconds left in the 2nd OT. He probably fouled Giannis 8 times. Of course, Giannis would have probably choked on the FTS (1 for 6 tonight), but it is still ridiculous.
They were never going to call this game down the middle. What pisses me off is this is in Milwaukee. It's different if it's in LA.
Anthony Davis just brilliant how he didn't foul anyone tonight. 
The NBA hates that Giannis is in Milwaukee. They hate it. ESPN hates it.
The Bucks have to play better. Dame and Middleton have to shoot better. Giannis has to make his FT's. That's the only way they're winning over Boston / LA or anyone.
It’s shameful.
That video of Davis mugging Giannis on the alley oop is hilarious!
Both Toronto and Indiana have complained in the past month or so about the calls when playing the Lakers. I honestly watch the Bucks and that's about it for the NBA. Refs have no idea how to ref games - or they blatantly give one team a clear advantage.
Bucks obviously shouldn't have blown the 19 point Q4 lead no matter how bad the refs were, but a call here or there could have switched momentum.
I don't normally notice announcers that much as I usually watch the Bucks feed, but Reggie Miller needs to wipe his chin from sucking on the Lakers during the game. Brutal.
The problem is ESPN specifically favors LeBron James. He brings the ratings and obviously the Lakers are a huge draw.
The issue I have is he was out there lobbying officials during the game in which he is not playing is a joke.
The Bucks turned it over a bit in the 4Q but there is no way LA wins that game had the officials called it correctly. The deciding play at end of the game - alley oop to Giannis- you can Anthony Davis all over him like a corner on a receiver within 5 yards of scrimmage. Giannis should have gone to the line with a chance to win it in regulation.

Austin Reaves was also allowed to get extremely physical with Middleton, especially in the 4th quarter. A lot of shoves that weren't called.
The drive where Beasley scored in the 4th after getting raked across both arms and still scored was also blatant. He fell on the floor after getting the layup to fall and stared at the official.

Actually, the correct call in that situation is foul that results in one FT for Giannis (for a violation that occurs before the ball is inbounded) followed by the Bucks retaining possession.
Cavs lose to the Hornets, so the Bucks go back up 3 games on the Cavs, but the Knicks are now within 2.
They're still talking about last night
This was several fouls, and Davis pushes Giannis while he's airborne, which a) happens all the time to Giannis and it almost never gets called, and b) is a SUPER dangerous play.

(And yeah, watching the Andrew Bogut injury live in person made me super aware of that exact foul) https://t.co/VvGduxsEz8
Jeez guys.....it's a regular season game. Move on.....
Surprised no one mentioned Beverly has a torn ligament in his wrist. Can he play through it and wait for surgery after the season, or opt for surgery now?

Yes. This is an under the radar loss for the Bucks. The guy is a very limited offensive player, but if he's available, there's no way they give up a 19 point fourth quarter lead to the Lakers on Tuesday.
I think it sounds like he's likely done for the year.
If nothing else, it forces Doc to play AJ Green more regularly and we'll get a better idea of whether he can hold up on defense. The big issue is that they really don't have a backup PG now. Doc has tried Connaughton in that role a few times a game, but that's not something I want to see in the playoffs.

And I just look now and they are listing Pat Bev as probable tonight. He may just try to pay through the pain.
