In a sleety Milwaukee night, the Bucks would fend off the visiting Charlotte Hornets, earning their 50th win on the season.
After starting off 4-of-8 from deep, the Bucks would cool off and miss their next seven 3-point attempts, resulting in a sluggish start to this one. Charlotte would jump out to a 32-24 lead after the end of the first quarter. Milwaukee would scratch and claw their way back throughout before the half, slashing the Hornets’ lead to just four at 59-55.
The third quarter would end up being titled The Brook Lopez Quarter. He’d explode for 18 points, catapulting Milwaukee back in front and providing a lead that the Bucks would not give back up.
