Recap/Analysis: LaMelo Ball leads Hornets to win over Bucks

LaMelo Ball scored 15 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, including the game winning free throws, as the Charlotte Hornets defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 115-114.

The summary

The Hornets struggled on the defensive end in the first quarter. The Bucks force fed Giannis on the block, where the Hornets were forced to double due the size mismatches he causes. The double teams were effective in deterring Giannis shot attempts, but he was more than happy to kick the ball out to 3-point shooters, who were hot to start the game. Fortunately the Hornets were able to make enough shots on the other end of the floor to keep pace.
