THE Milwaukee Bucks, missing key starters, stunned the travel-sick Los Angeles Lakers 100-89 on Saturday, helped by a herculean effort from Drew Gooden.
The Bucks (8-11) were without leading rebounder Andrew Bogut, who has a broken ankle, while second top scorer Stephen Jackson sat out the game with suspension.
Gooden filled the void with 23 points - 18 coming in the second half - and eight rebounds, Mike Dunleavy and Ersan Ilyasova scoring 15 points each coming off the bench. The loss dropped Los Angeles (11-9) to a woeful 1-7 on the road.
Gooden hit a three pointer late in the first quarter to spark a 17-0 Milwaukee run that extended into the second quarter to turn a six-point deficit into an 11-point lead at 34-23.
Outside of a brief Lakers surge near the end of the third quarter that trimmed the Bucks lead to three points, but Milwaukee maintained a comfortable grip on the lead till the end.
Dunleavy scored 10 points in the first half and then scored five points in the final two minutes of the game.
