MILWAUKEE (AP) — Miles Bridges scored 26 points to lead the Charlotte Hornets to a 127-119 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, who were playing Friday night without all five of their usual starters.
The Hornets (27-24) are three games above .500 for the first time since January 2017. Charlotte finished that 2016-17 season with a 36-46 record.
“I’m proud of our guys, that they’ve put us in this position to be where we’re at,” Hornets coach James Borrego said. “I love that and I’m proud of them. But we can’t be complacent. We haven’t done anything. We haven’t accomplished anything yet.
