For the Bucks, Drew Gooden is making a strong showing with 10 points and five rebounds. His outside shooting is helping take some of the pressure off of Andrew Bogut, who leads all players with nine rebounds. Brandon Jennings, who leads all scorers with 19 points, drove hard to the basket to put the Bucks up over the Lakers in the last seconds of the half.
This game has seen 16 ties and 19 lead changes, which is an indication of how well these teams are matching up tonight.
