Result
Dwight Howard and Treveon Graham helped make sure the Hornets would have a very happy holiday as Charlotte rallied from an 18-point third-quarter deficit to defeat Milwaukee, 111-106, on Dec. 23 at Spectrum Center. Howard recorded another double-double with 21 points and 16 rebounds, while Graham poured in a career-high 14 points off the bench and sparked the Hornets comeback.
Turning Point
Milwaukee opened the second half on a 19-2 run, pushing the Bucks lead to 73-55 and leaving the Hornets looking for a Christmas miracle. Enter Treveon Graham. With Associate Head Coach Stephen Silas looking for something to inject life into the offense, Graham delivered at the right time, scoring eight points on a perfect 3-of-3 shooting from the field, including 2-of-2 from outside the arc as the Hornets outscored Milwaukee, 26-12 in the final 6:10 of the third quarter to cut the lead to 85-81 heading to the fourth.
