In what was the 100th meeting between the two clubs, the Charlotte Hornets were able to outlast the Milwaukee Bucks, 98-95. As expected, the first game back from the nine-day All-Star Break was filled with sloppy play, but Cody Zeller and Kemba Walker showed plenty of energy in the big road win. Cody ended up with a new career-high in points at 23 points and also added 9 rebounds. Kemba had 14 points in the first quarter, and ended with 25 points, 6 rebounds and four assists.
In the previous meeting between these two, the Hornets struggled mightily with the size of Milwaukee's roster, and it showed again at times tonight.
