The Bucks started off slow in the first quarter scoring only 15 points to the Clippers' 24 but picked up momentum in the second quarter adding an impressive 34 points to their score. The third and fourth quarters saw consistent performance from the home team with scores of 29 and 28 respectively.

Despite this lower three-point shooting accuracy, they managed to secure more total rebounds than their opponents with an impressive count of 64.


Key players for Milwaukee contributed significantly to this victory. The team's efficiency rating was slightly higher than that of the Clippers', standing at an admirable figure of 109 compared to their opponent's rating of 107. Additionally, they drew more fouls (22) which allowed them more opportunities from the free-throw line where they scored at a rate of approximately seventy percent.


On defense, although not recording any blocks compared to four by LA Clippers, Milwaukee managed two steals and limited turnovers to ten while forcing seven on their opponents. They also outperformed in points scored within the paint (48), which proved crucial in such a tight game.


The Los Angeles Clippers had led for most part of the game clocking forty minutes and thirty-nine seconds as leaders but could not maintain their biggest lead which stood at twenty-one points against Milwaukee’s four-point maximum lead during just four minutes and thirty-eight seconds on top.


Looking ahead for Milwaukee Bucks fans, there is another exciting matchup scheduled as they are set to face Miami Heat on February fifth starting one o'clock AM Eastern Time Zone right here again at Fiserv Forum.
