The imposing appearance of Giannis Antetokounmpo was not enough for them Bucks against the Hornets.
Greek Freak was impressive, making his first triple-double in this season (22 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists) and the fastest of his career, since it took only 22:03 to achieve it, but the “deers” suffered a marginal defeat with 115-114.
So the Bucks fell to 4-9after failing to post a third straight win following those against the Raptors and Pistons, while the Hornets improved their record to 5-7.
Top for the winners were Bol (26p, 9 rebounds, 6 assists), Bridges (19p) and Diabate (12p, 14 rebounds), while Prince (23p) and Portis (21p) also stood out for the Bucks.
The game was lopsided throughout, with neither team able to build a double-digit lead, while the match remained a derby until the final seconds. With 12” left in the final, Connaughton made it 114-113 off an assist by Giannis, but then the Greek Freak drew the (questionable) foul ball from which Ball made two shots to make it 115-114 , while in the last attack Giannis missed a step back two-pointer for the victory, with his team knowing the defeat.
The twelve minutes: 33-39, 59-63, 86-90, 115-114
