The Charlotte Hornets offense continued to struggle as they dropped a game to a Milwaukee Bucks team missing many of their best players, 105-96.
Both teams made their first two shots of the game, but the level of play diminished pretty quickly after that. The teams stumbled through a pretty even first quarter that featured a Mason Plumlee elbow jumper that got the shooter’s roll and forced a Bucks timeout. The Hornets were very aggressive attacking the paint but struggled to finish when they got there. The Bucks left their center in the paint instead of guarding the Hornets centers outside, and it clogged up the Hornets’ driving lanes.
