Basketball is back! The Milwaukee Bucks built a 20-point lead early, but the pesky Charlotte Hornets Kemba Walker made life difficult for the Bucks in the 4th quarter. Ultimately, the Bucks would survive for a 113-112 victory in their first regular season contest during the Budenholzer era. Here are three things that stood out from Wednesday’s nail-biting victory.
*Homer Simpson voice* Mmm, three’s
From the onset, the Milwaukee Bucks offensive strategy was very clear. Launch three-pointers. The Bucks as a team converted on 14-34 3-pointers (41.2%) which is very respectable. The Bucks had 4 players (Middleton, Lopez, Bledsoe, Brogdon) attempt 5+ three’s against the Hornets on Wednesday night.
