Bucks Crush Hornets, 120-84
MILWAUKEE, WI - It was the same story, different night for the Charlotte Hornets as they were blown-out by the Milwaukee Bucks, 120-84.
LaMelo Ball and Mark Williams remained out of the lineup and with James Bouknight, Ish Smith, and Frank Ntilikina being waived on Thursday, the Hornets were even more shorthanded than usual.
Charlotte fell behind 31-17 after one quarter of play and by halftime, the rout was on with the Bucks taking a 66-38 lead into the locker room.
Milwaukee caught fire from three and shot the ball at a high percentage from the field for the game (%). Malik Beasley could not be stopped as he had the hot touch in this one, knocking down 7-of-9 attempts from downtown. Three other Bucks made two or more shots from deep.
Best of the Night: Nick Richards
Richards recorded his second double-double of the week, finishing with 16 points and 11 rebounds. He also did a pretty good job defensively on Brook Lopez, who ended the night with 11.
Worst of the Night: Miles Bridges
After dropping 86 points over the last two games, Bridges was due for an off night. He's had to carry this team on a nightly basis and tonight, the shots just didn't fall for him. Bridges went 2/16 from the floor and 2/6 from three.
Highlight of the Night:
Next up: Hornets vs. Grizzlies, Saturday at 7 p.m. EST
