The Charlotte Hornets (28 - 26) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (22 - 33) 98 - 95 on Friday. All the statistics made this look like a Bucks win, but that simply wasn’t the case. Milwaukee outrebounded the Hornets 47 - 38 and also outassisted them 22 to 13. It was the fourth quarter that made the difference for Charlotte, as they outscored the Bucks 28 - 17 over the final 12 minutes. The benches were not used very much in this contest, as only seven bench players were used between the two teams. Charlotte had won five of six going into the All-Star break and this comeback win is a great catalyst for the rest of the season. Al Jefferson made his long awaited return from a foot injury and played 23 minutes in the win. His replacement, Cody Zeller, obviously played with a chip on his shoulder, as he tallied a career - high 23 points and nine rebounds in the win. Kemba Walker had a nice all - around game, as he accumulated 25 points, six rebounds and four assists in the victory. Up next for the Hornets is a date with the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. Milwaukee has been using a different lineup recently and it's unclear if it's paying any dividends. Jabari Parker had one of his best games of the season though, as he amassed 23 points and 11 rebounds in the loss. Giannis Antetokounmpo finished the game with 18 points, 11 rebounds and four assists of his own. Greg Monroe had a terrible game off the bench, as he scored a measly four points while attempting just two shots and committing four turnovers in the defeat. Milwaukee's next game will be on Saturday when they take on the Atlanta Hawks.
