Following a lengthy six-game road trip, the Milwaukee Bucks returned home Friday to square off against the Charlotte Hornets at Fiserv Forum.
However, they were without several key pieces for this matchup, including every member of their typical starting five, along with P.J. Tucker. That forced head coach Mike Budenholzer to get creative with his rotations, and it was certainly interesting to see it all unfold.
Still, despite a handful of stellar performances from several individuals, the shorthanded Bucks were unable to overcome their issues and fell to the Hornets 127-119.
