The Los Angeles Lakers have finally hit a rough patch.

After coasting through the first 27 games of the season, going 24-3 in the process, the Lakers have finally succumbed to a losing streak. That would be because following a 111-104 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Lakers have now lost consecutive games for the first time all season long.

Los Angeles also fell 105-102 to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night.

While the Lakers' star players certainly came out to play, the rest of the rotation did not. Los Angeles was vastly outplayed in a matchup of two of the best teams in the NBA — the Bucks have the best record in the NBA at 25-4 — and as mentioned in the tweet, they had already trailed by 21 points in the first half alone.

It didn't help matters that Giannis Antetokounmpo absolutely went off as he scored 34 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in just 32 minutes of action.

Coming into the game, LeBron James downplayed the meaning of this matchup between two of the best teams in the NBA — although it could be a preview of the 2020 NBA Finals.

Via Spectrum Sportsnet:

“No. I’m 17 years in and a regular season game like that… it’s just two teams just trying to get better and better. But no, it doesn’t feel special.”

The Lakers will have another opportunity to get revenge on the Bucks when they host Milwaukee on March 6.
