If anyone thought the Lakers, with LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the top five, are a legitimate candidate to win another championship then this morning he probably thought about it again.
LeBron and his teammates received a lesson from a thousand Mianis Antocompo, who led the champions Milwaukee to 116: 131 electrifying at Staples Center with 44 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists in his near-perfect and undefeated game (17 of 20 from the field, 2 of 2 from three).
Yannis did not record a single loss in 35 minutes and celebrated in color against Davis who is considered an excellent defensive player.
"When you score your shots, the game is much easier," Yannis said after the game, "I always try to involve my friends in the game and get them in the rhythm, but when you start scoring shots, you feel better about yourself. ".

Beyond the fact that the Lakers recorded a shocking defensive game and allowed Milwaukee to score high percentages, the media covering the team dealt with the Russell Westbrook issue.
The big star who arrived from Washington in the summer, once again remained on the bench for most of the final quarter and played just 26 minutes compared to the 37 and 35 minutes given to Davis and LeBron.
Westbrook also received boos from his crowd, after one of the four losses he had in the game.
Dry again and this time valid.

Westbrook teased his coach Frank Vogel after the game and said, "I wish I could help them. Unfortunately I was not in the game to help them. And that's why I came here, to help them win. But that's not my decision."
Westbrook again had a hard time scoring and was accurate with just three shots out of 10 he took from the field.
Frank Vogel claimed after the game that Westbrook played better than against the Knicks, but he dried it out in the fourth quarter and gave his minutes to Malik Monk and Austin Reeves.
The coach claimed he was flowing with the game when his side, who were already 30 points behind, narrowed the gap to just 10 without Westbrook.
But the guard was not really impressed by this statement and said: "I earned my right to be in the top five at the moment of the decision, but again it is not my decision."
On the contemptuous whistles of the crowd he said: "It's a sign that I am respected."
