In an absolutely wild finish, the Milwaukee Bucks came from behind to defeat the Charlotte Hornets, 127-125.
The first quarter featured a lot of the 3-point ball, predominantly from the Hornets. They’d go 10-of-17 (58%) in the opening stanza, with strong play coming from Miles Bridges, PJ Washington, and Terry Rozier. Giannis Antetokounmpo tallied 12 points in the opening quarter, but Milwaukee found themselves in a hole after one, 41-25.
Charlotte would continue to maintain their groove throughout the second quarter, playing with a fast and crisp offense. The Bucks would slice things to single digits numerous times in the period, and that’s where things stood going into the halftime break, as Charlotte maintained a 68-60 lead.
