Bucks have hit two of the three 3s they’ve attempted in the second quarter and opened the second quarter on a 12-4 run.
Hornets still lead, 32-31, though with 7:05 left in the first half. – 7:46 PM

That dunk was Cade’s first made bucket. Missed his first five shots. He’s been in a bit of a slump since the Milwaukee game last week – 7:44 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Neither team is shooting it particularly well from behind the three-point line, so the #Hornets have taken a 32-21 lead thanks in part to a 18-10 edge in paint scoring. – 7:44 PM

Hornets played some of their best defense of the season for the second half of that quarter. Forced 5TOs in the quarter, gave up 0 offensive rebounds and forced a lot of contested shots.
That’s the blueprint, they can do it (When Giannis is on the bench) – 7:34 PM

The basket by Sandro Mamukelashvili stopped a 16-0 #Hornets run during which the #Bucks went 0-for-9. – 7:31 PM

These non-Giannis mins off to another awful start for Milwaukee. pic.twitter.com/b0aPBKavIe7:31 PM

Rod Boone @rodboone
Terry Rozier feeling it. Has 11 points in the first quarter. No hesitation whatsoever. #Hornets are on a 18-2 run, lead 28-19. – 7:30 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Bucks promptly miss their next five shots and the #Hornets go on an 8-0 run and Darvin Ham calls for time. Charlotte up 18-17 w/ 3:58 left in the first half. – 7:26 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
The impact Giannis has on the game defensively even when he doesn’t touch the ball is incredible. Both Bridges and Hayward are constantly second guessing what they do as they’re worried he’s lurking – 7:26 PM
Charlotte Hornets @hornets
Right place at the right time 👌

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Some #Hornets fans were not pleased with their team’s ball movement on that possession, which led to a #Bucks foul i.e. “Shoot it!” – 7:23 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
First player(s) off the bench tonight: PJ Washington and Cody Martin. – 7:23 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Melo looks to be sitting in the middle of the Hornets zone, exactly where Giannis likes to get it. Looks like an adjustment from Saturday, Giannis was catching it in the middle too easily and Melo reads entry passes so well for deflections – 7:22 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Pat Connaughton subs in for Giannis Antetokounmpo. #Bucks up 17-14. – 7:21 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Donte DiVincenzo is tonight’s sixth man for the #Bucks, in for Jordan Nwora. – 7:20 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Khris Middleton has passed David Wesley and Rudy Gay for 95th all-time on the NBA made three-pointers list. #Bucks7:19 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Floater from Khris Middleton gives the Bucks a 17-10 lead with 7:09 left in the first quarter and James Borrego takes a timeout.
After a 1-of-11 performance (3pts) in 31 minutes on Saturday, Jordan Nwora has already hit two of his three shots and tallied five points tonight. – 7:18 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Bucks start out 7-for-10 from the floor (3-for-6 from behind the three-point line) and Khris Middleton and Jordan Nwora have five points apiece.
Milwaukee up 17-10 early. – 7:17 PM

The other day, Giannis Antetokounmpo was talking about how hard he throws some passes and Gordon Hayward took one off the face. – 7:14 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Giannis Antetokounmpo with a big two-hand slam to get the Bucks scoring started tonight. – 7:12 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo has now tied Glenn Robinson for first on the #Bucks all-time games started list at 558. – 7:10 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Different officiating crew tonight for #Bucks#Hornets. We’ll see if we can get through the first half in less than 2.5 hours. – 7:09 PM

Oubre’s playing 28mpg, I’d expect 5-7 of his mins to go to Cody Martin to bump him up to 30-32. Then tonight specifically with Giannis more McDaniels at SF, maybe 7-10 more mins to get him up to 25-28. That leaves at least 12-15 mins for Bouknight, or maybe Thor if they need size – 6:11 PM
