Lonzo Ball couldn’t miss. For stretches of Thursday’s game, neither could Eric Bledsoe. Meanwhile, Zion Williamson rumbled his way to a career-best first half. Still, it wasn’t quite enough to prevail, while facing one of the NBA’s most high-powered offenses.
The interconference matchup was tied at 103 through three quarters and New Orleans led by three late, but Milwaukee closed with a 9-2 run.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
Trailing 128-125, Brandon Ingram was whistled for a charge after he ran over Donte DiVincenzo on a drive into the paint, as Ingram tried to dish to Williamson under the basket.
