"All those Lakers fans wearing purple went home disappointed Saturday night.
Yes, there were plenty of Los Angeles fans in the Bradley Center. But veteran Drew Gooden led a balanced effort as the Milwaukee Bucks knocked off the Lakers, 100-89, before a crowd of 18,027.
Gooden scored a season-high 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds, leading the Bucks (8-11) to their fourth victory in six games.
And the 6-foot-10 Gooden also had tough defensive duty against Lakers 7-foot center Andrew Bynum.
Ersan Ilyasova and Mike Dunleavy Jr. each had 15 points off the bench, while Brandon Jennings added 12 points and seven assists.
Kobe Bryant finished with 27 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for the Lakers (11-9), who fell to 1-7 on the road.
"We executed well offensively," said Bucks coach Scott Skiles. "We had some great sequences of ball movement again."
