Milwaukee Bucks: Player grades from 113-103 loss to Los Angeles Lakers

A. Donte DiVincenzo had a rough start in this one as his first couple of shot attempts struggled to even catch a piece of the rim. That certainly wasn’t a sign of what was to come, though. DiVincenzo continued his own recent leveling up with a stellar offensive showing that also included a couple of standout defensive moments. In the second half, Donte was the only player offering any real support to Giannis and keeping the Bucks afloat. His third quarter was truly spectacular as he rained in threes, but even in the fourth he was still coming up with big plays such as his block on LeBron James. Donte finished with 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting, while also coming up with four assists, and three rebounds. Given the performances of some of the Bucks’ starters, more performance of this ilk may well be required from DiVincenzo moving forward too.. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks. DONTE DIVINCENZO
