Michael Kidd-Gilchrist inflicts chaos. Tony Parker enforces calm.
Two entirely different effects on a basketball game, each of them missing with those two Charlotte Hornets hurt. They came back Monday and their impact echoed through 110-107 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
This is a Hornets team that just gave up 124 points to an Atlanta Hawks team that lost its previous 10 games. The defense was as bad Sunday as at any time this season, particularly in the lane, where the Hornets gave up 58 points.
Monday, the Bucks totaled 40 points in the paint and were limited to 41 percent shooting from the field.
