The showdown between the Milwaukee Bucks and Lakers still will feature the teams with the NBA’s best record. The Indiana Pacers halted the Lakers’ 14-game road winning streak, 105-102 on Tuesday, one night after the Bucks’ run of 18 consecutive wins ended. “One reason [for the winning streak] was we kept our composure,” Lakers star LeBron James said. Caruso missed a three and the Pacers took the lead on another shot by Brogdon. “Thought it was in the second time.”Down two with 11.7 seconds left, James missed a deep three-pointer.
