against the fourth place Atlanta Hawks the night before.
Kemba Walker capped off the first quarter attempting a team-high eight field goals for eight points, going two for four from the three point line which allowed the Hornets to head into the second with a 10 point lead. Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker each contributing 3 of Milwaukee’s 10 first-half turnovers, the Bucks still managed to outscore the Hornets 52 to 48 heading into the locker rooms.
The Hornets attempted a comeback early in the fourth quarter, but the bucks quickly squashed any hope by shooting fifty percent from the floor in the second half.
