The Milwaukee Bucks competed for much closer to 48 minutes against the Los Angeles Lakers but again couldn’t get over the line, losing 123-112. The main storyline was Taylor Jenkins’s rotational adjustments: inserting Nate Ament into the starting lineup, sending Jaime Jaquez Jr. to the bench, and removing others from the rotation entirely. All told, I’d say the returns were positive, even if they didn’t result in a win. Those adjustments will definitely be something to monitor moving forward.

Player Grades
Ryan Rollins
23 minutes, 8 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 turnovers, 3/10 FG, 2/6 3P, -12
Rollins seems to be getting smothered more by taller, longer defenders this season than last. Just couldn’t get many good looks and was stripped/coaxed into throwing bad passes. I will say that Rollins made an impact, generating extra shots, with three of his seven rebounds being O-boards.
Grade: D+
Tyler Herro
34 minutes, 27 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 block, 3 turnovers, 8/16 FG, 2/7 3P, 9/10 FT, -17
It was great to see Herro back out there to give the team direction. Even though his three wasn’t dropping, he still made a major impact with his in-between game and at the free throw line. I also feel like guys are getting in Herro’s way a bit as he’s trying to penetrate; you know, cutting in front of him and the like.

Jaime Jaquez Jr.
30 minutes, 25 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 7/16 FG, 2/7 3P, 9/9 FT, -13
Jaquez was fantastic. This felt like a matchup where he finally had an advantage over the long-but-skinny Laker defenders. I also loved how Jaquez kept leading by example, especially on defence, as the game wore on. I noticed multiple times when Jaquez was bodying up his man in the backcourt—even before the ball was thrown in—and it seemed to force others to follow suit.
Grade: A-
Kyle Kuzma
23 minutes, 9 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 2 steals, 6 PF, 2/8 FG, 1/6 3P, 4/4 FT, -22
Look, Kuzma was tasked with guarding Doncic, and he was about the…
