The Milwaukee Bucks (16 - 16) defeated the Charlotte Hornets (10 - 22) 104 - 94 on Monday at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte. After taking a big lead into halftime and then letting the Hornets make a comeback leading to this overtime thriller, the Bucks were able to save themselves in the extra period and out - scored the Hornets 21 - 11 to seal the victory on the road. The Bucks as a whole shot much better than the Hornets, going 47 percent from the field, while New Orleans went just 37 percent from the floor. This win puts the Bucks winning percentage back at .500 on the season. The Bucks had six players reach double figures, with three of them coming off the bench. Brandon Knight led all scorers for the Bucks, finishing with 18 points (8 - 19 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt) and four assists. Despite a solid showing offensively, he did record a season - high of eight turnovers, so it was n't all good for the guard. Giannis Antetokounmpo was the other big contributor in the starting lineup. He was very efficient in this game, going 7 - for - 8 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the free throw line to finish with 16 points, while also adding eight rebounds. He's struggled over the Bucks' last two games, combining for only 12 points, so it was good to see him get back on track. The biggest bench contributor was Jared Dudley, who came one rebound shy of a double - double. He posted 17 points (5 - 10 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT) and nine rebounds in the victory. Most of the production for the Hornets came from the duo of Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker. Walker had a game - high of 28 points (7 - 22 FG, 2 - 8 3Pt), while adding an uncharacteristic four blocked shots. A huge portion of his points came from the free throw line, where he made 12 - of - 13 attempts. Henderson on the other hand shot well, going 7 - for - 13 from the field and 1 - for - 3 from beyond the arc to score 19 points. He's combined for only nine points over the last two games, so this marked a bounce back game for the shooting guard. The only other Hornet to reach double figures in points was Michael Kidd-Gilchrist who finished with 10 points (5 - 10 FG). With Al Jefferson having a tough night from the field (3 - 12 FG) and leaving the game in the fourth quarter with a groin strain, it figured to limit the Hornets overall success. The Bucks' next game will be on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, while the Hornets will travel to Houston to play the Rockets on Wednesday.
