The Hornets beat the Bucks 127-119 in a game that did not feature the best players from both teams.
Friday’s session brought several unexpected results. On the one hand, Philadelphia was surprised by New Orleans and could not close the gap with Brooklyn. On the other hand, the Milwaukee Bucks did not take advantage of the loss of the Sixers and were also defeated, in this case by the Charlotte Hornets by 127-119.
However, the defeat of Milwaukee has an incentive. Mike Budenholzer’s team closed a back-to-back without their starters after what was the loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The cast did not feature Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, Donte DiVincenzo and PJ Tucker in the loss. Thus, the good production of Jordan Nwora (24) was not enough to avoid the fall at home.
Charlotte also didn’t have three major players like LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward and Malik Monk. However, it had a rotation similar to the traditional one and it enforced it. Miles Bridges (26) led the celebration by being the top scorer for a team that featured six double-digit players. There were also by Terry Rozier (20); Devonte Graham (20); Jalen McDaniels (19 points, six rebounds and five assists); PJ Washington (17) and Cody Zeller (10 points, 12 rebounds and three assists).
The difference between the two teams was felt from the start. Milwaukee failed to command by more than two points, while Charlotte managed to hold a maximum advantage of 21 points. The longest distance in the game came four minutes from time, when PJ Washington conceded his second straight win to record a momentary 122-101. Then, James Borrego decided to take the best players out of the visit and Milwaukee made up the result thanks to the youth trident of Nwora-Toupane-Merril.
