Rapid Recap: Hornets 138, Bucks 109
What an ugly night for the Bucks. In a sleepwalking manner, they fell to Charlotte, 138-109.
The Bucks found themselves in a massive hole to begin this one, thanks in large part to the hot shooting of the Hornets. They exploded for 51 points in the first frame, carving their way to the basket and nailing threes. They carried a 23 point advantage into the second quarter.
In addition to Terry Rozier’s hot shooting, LaMelo Ball got hot in the second, keeping Charlotte’s massive lead intact. The Bucks were simply unable to chip away at the deficit and going into halftime, they found themselves down bad, 84-60.
