Halftime: Lakers 39, Bucks 28

Yes, that really was the halftime score tonight. Yes, Kobe Bryant really did miss 13 of 14 shots in the first half. Yes, the Lakers did lead by as many as 18 points despite shooting a woeful 12-for-39 (30.8 percent). Yes, the Bucks really did shoot more bricks than the Lakers, however. They were 12 of 42 (28.6 percent). Milwaukee's Michael Redd left the game in the second quarter because of a sore left knee. Oh, and Andrew Bynum scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the Lakers managed to win the battles down low. The Lakers held the Bucks to eight points in the first quarter.
