After a disheartening start to their West Coast road trip including getting blown out in Golden State and losing a frustrating game to the Lakers, the Milwaukee Bucks managed a closer-than-you’d-like win over the Los Angeles Clippers thanks in large part to Damian Lillard taking over late in the fourth to ensure the Bucks held on.

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti talked through the bad and the good of the road trip, in order, starting with the Bucks lack of consistent defense on display out West and also covering Doc Rivers’ lineup decisions, Jae Crowder’s offensive struggles, Dame looking like himself, Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis continuing to play well, and Giannis Antetokounmpo still managing to destroy worlds even while looking hampered by his Achilles injury.
