The Milwaukee Bucks will have an opportunity to see what could have been when they host the Los Angeles Lakers at the Fiserv Forum on Thursday night.

The Bucks were just a few wins away from meeting the Lakers in the NBA Finals last season if it was not for running into a tough Miami Heat team the round before. The Lakers won their first championship since Kobe Bryant led the team in 2010. The Bucks are looking to rebound from their Monday night loss to the Brooklyn Nets that snapped a four-game winning streak. The Lakers come into Milwaukee fresh off their own close loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday after previously boasting a five-game winning streak. 

The Bucks will play in front of a nationally-televised audience at 6:30 p.m.
