Clippers extend streak with 127-113 win at Milwaukee as short-handed Bucks lean on Trent

Clippers control most of night at Fiserv Forum

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 127-113 on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at Fiserv Forum, building separation before halftime and maintaining it through the second half. The result completed a season sweep for Los Angeles, which improved to 39-36 and extended its winning streak to five games. Milwaukee fell to 29-45 and absorbed another loss during a difficult stretch that has seen the team drop 10 of its past 12 games.

Los Angeles won despite Milwaukee’s late push in the fourth quarter, where the Bucks outscored the Clippers 39-31. The Clippers’ advantage was established earlier: Los Angeles led 29-25 after one quarter, then took control in the second period to carry a 57-46 lead into halftime.

Efficiency and rebounding tilt the matchup

Los Angeles posted one of its more efficient shooting performances of the season, finishing 45-of-77 from the field (58%). The Clippers paired that with a 39-27 rebounding edge and created extra possessions while limiting Milwaukee’s margin for error.

• Field goals: Clippers 58% (45-77), Bucks 52% (40-77)
• Three-pointers: Clippers 43% (13-30), Bucks 45% (20-44)
• Turnovers: Clippers 16, Bucks 22
• Rebounds: Clippers 39, Bucks 27

Milwaukee’s perimeter shooting kept the game from getting out of reach early, but the Bucks’ 22 turnovers and limited second-chance opportunities undercut that advantage. Los Angeles, by contrast, played cleaner basketball and repeatedly converted in the paint and midrange when Milwaukee tightened coverage on the arc.

Mathurin leads balanced Clippers scoring; Trent carries Milwaukee

Bennedict Mathurin led the Clippers with 28 points, supported by John Collins with 22 and Kawhi Leonard with 20. Darius Garland added 15 points and 11 assists, giving Los Angeles a steady playmaking base that helped it withstand Milwaukee’s momentum swings.

For Milwaukee, Gary Trent Jr. produced a season-high 36 points, the clearest offensive bright spot on a night when the Bucks dressed only eight available players. Taurean Prince added 18 points and AJ Green scored 15.

The Clippers’ lead was built across the middle quarters, including a 39-point third quarter that stretched the margin after Milwaukee had already fallen behind by double digits before halftime.

What it means moving forward

The game offered a clear contrast in execution: Los Angeles paired high-percentage offense with rebounding control, while Milwaukee relied heavily on shot-making from the perimeter and individual scoring to keep pace. With the regular season entering its final weeks, the Clippers’ current streak has strengthened their position in the Western Conference playoff race, while the Bucks continue to navigate roster limitations and results that have slipped further below .500.
