LOS ANGELES, NOV 25 – Giannis Ante-tokounmpo scored 32 points and Damian Lillard added 31 points to help the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Charlotte Hornets, 125-119, extending their winning streak to four games.
Despite Charlotte guard LaMelo Ball scoring a career-high 50 points, the Bucks improved to 8-9 on the season with their fourth straight home win, while Charlotte fell to 6-10.
“It feels great to get another win on home court,” Lillard said.
“The way we started the season was quite difficult. We started playing the way we wanted to play since the beginning of the season. Now we are starting to feel comfortable with ourselves, both in attack and defence.
“We started doing what the coach wanted us to do and we started getting the results we wanted.”
Greece star Antetokounmpo went 12 of 23 and seven of 10 from the free throw line while adding 11 rebound and six assist for Milwaukee. Ball scored 10 assist for Charlotte. – AFP
