Bucks (19-17) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (16-21).

WHEN: 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.

WHERE: Staples Center.

BROADCASTS: TV - FS Wisconsin. Radio - AM-620.

About the Lakers: Dwight Howard returned to the lineup after missing three games with a torn labrum in his right shoulder, and his 22 points and 14 rebounds helped the Lakers snap a six-game skid with a 113-93 home-court victory over Cleveland on Sunday. The Lakers are in danger of missing the playoffs unless they snap out of their season-long funk. Jim Buss, team executive vice president, said recently it would be foolish to "blow it up" and preached patience for a team many figured would contend for the NBA title. Power forward Pau Gasol remains out due to a concussion and will not play against the Bucks. Earl Clark has played well (12.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.0 blocks) while starting the last two games and earned praise from coach Mike D'Antoni for his defense. Kobe Bryant tops the league in scoring at 29.8 points per game.

It's weird that the Bucks have a better record than the Lakers.

**Prince** · 01-15-2013, 09:48 AM

Casual basketball fans think we're crappy.

yep. I missed the comeback in the second quarter watching the Badgers beat Indiana, but considering how well the Lakers were shooting in the first half when I was watching, I didn't think the Bucks had a chance.

I kinda had a feeling the lakers would suddenly remember that they had a lineup full of hall of famers as soon as they saw us
