Live stream: Hornets 37, Bucks 68

Rod Boone @rodboone
On the Bucks TV broadcast, Marques Johnson called the #Hornets “equal opportunity bricklayers.” #Hornets scored 26 points in the first half, and NBA low this season. – 9:02 PM

Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia
26 points from the Hornets in the first half is the fewest points scored in a half this season.
Its the fewest points the @Bucks have allowed in a half since giving up 25 to the Mavs on 11/17/16 – 9:01 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Half: Bucks 58, Hornets 26
– Lillard 16pts/7reb/4ast
– Portis 16pts/7reb/2ast
– Antetokounmpo 15pts/7reb
Per the Bucks PA announcer, that’s the lowest point total at the half in the NBA this season. – 9:00 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Hornets went on an eight minute, 26-second scoreless streak tonight.
Terrance Mann hit a 3 with 10:26 left in the second quarter to cut the Bucks’ lead to 38-24.
With 2:00 left in the first half, Cody Martin hit a layup to cut the Bucks’ lead to 56-26. – 8:58 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Wrote about it on Sunday, but the Bucks just look so much better on defense now under Doc Rivers.
They fly around, apply real pressure, execute switches. Such a massive difference from the first half of the season.

After one quarter, the Bucks lead, 32-16, after Patrick Beverley blocks Seth Curry’s floater attempt at the buzzer.
The Bucks closed the quarter with a 24-7 run. Damian Lillard leads the Bucks with 14pts/3reb/3ast thus far. – 8:34 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Bucks lead, 24-13, with 2:23 left. Timeout to Doc Rivers.
The Bucks have taken control of this one, but it looked like Rivers wanted to get Antetokounmpo back on the floor, so he took the timeout. – 8:30 PM

Phew. That was a nasty stepback 3 from Damian Lillard. – 8:21 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Bucks have been cold from deep – 0-for-5 from 3 – to start tonight’s game, but you can see why the Hornets have won five of their last six.
They’re playing hard and they’re athletic. Don’t have a ton of size, but they’re bringing the energy early tonight. – 8:18 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo gets all the way to the rim for a finger roll on the kick-ahead pass by Damian Lillard and the Bucks have the first two points of tonight’s game. – 8:12 PM

James Plowright @British_Buzz
I wonder to what extent Pokusevski’s decision to sign in Charlotte was influenced by;
– His relationship with his former OKC teammates
– Feedback from on Charlotte as a playing situation
– His relationship with fellow countryman Vasilije Micic.
– Was there any other NBA option? – 5:33 PM
