Though it was Leap Day, the Charlotte Hornets still weren’t leaping into the win column against the Milwaukee Bucks, who handed their purple-and-teal hosts a 111-99 home loss on Thursday night.
Adding some context to how one-sided the season series has been, this was Milwaukee’s smallest margin of victory over Charlotte in the four head-to-head battles. Brandon Miller scored a team-high 21 points and Miles Bridges had a 15-point, 10-rebound double-double for the Hornets, who failed to crack 100 points in all four meetings with the Bucks this year.
Milwaukee opened the contest with a quick 8-0 spurt, while the Hornets missed their first seven shots.
