The Charlotte Hornets (5-3) were able to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks (4-4) as they pushed their winning streak to three games. A huge first half from Kemba Walker and an explosive fourth quarter from Malik Monk led the Queen City team to a statement victory. The Hornets’ bench play helped them overcome 43 points from Khris Middleton.
Even though Nicolas Batum (left elbow) remains out for Charlotte, the team got some good news as he expects to return to playing in the next two to three weeks.
