Antetokounmpo contributed 32 points and 11 rebounds, while Lillard added 31 points, effectively leading the Bucks throughout the contest. Their chemistry on the court has been developing, making them a formidable duo capable of taking over games.
The Hornets, despite the loss, had standout performances as well. LaMelo Ball delivered an exceptional game, scoring a career-high 50 points, showcasing his skill and determination. Brandon Miller also played a significant role for Charlotte, adding 32 points and keeping the game competitive until the final minutes.
The Bucks established a strong lead in the fourth quarter, but the Hornets fought back, narrowing the gap to just two points with a late three-pointer from Miller. However, Milwaukee’s experience allowed them to maintain composure, finishing the game with crucial free throws to secure the win.
