Hornets snap losing streak with 111-100 win over Bucks as Bridges scores 20

Title Hornets Snap Losing Streak Bridges Leads Charge in Thrilling 111-100 Win Over Bucks

The Charlotte Hornets have finally put an end to their three-game losing streak, thanks to a spectacular 111-100 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Miles Bridges was instrumental in the win, scoring 20 points and leading the charge.

The Hornets took control from the outset, taking the lead with just 352 remaining in the first quarter and refusing to relinquish it. They led by nine at halftime (59-50) and never looked back. The key to their success was a dominant performance on the glass, outrebounding the Bucks 50-34.

The Hornets' ability to get to the line also proved crucial. They went 23 for 27 from the free throw line, compared to Milwaukee's paltry 8 of 13. This disparity ultimately proved decisive, as the Hornets were able to capitalize on their opportunities and pull away.

In a game that saw both teams trade baskets, Miles Bridges was the sparkplug, scoring 20 points and demonstrating his growing importance to the Hornets' offense. Collin Sexton and Kon Knueppel chipped in with 16 points apiece, providing a much-needed boost from the bench.

Ryan Rollins led the Bucks with 25 points on an efficient 10-for-15 shooting, while Myles Turner added 21 points to the mix. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the Hornets' hot shooting and dominant rebounding.

The absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who sat out with left knee patellar tendinopathy, undoubtedly impacted the Bucks' performance. The two-time NBA MVP is expected to return for the rematch between the teams on Friday night in Milwaukee, and it will be interesting to see how he affects the outcome.

The Hornets played without LaMelo Ball (right ankle impingement) and Brandon Miller (left shoulder subluxation), but still managed to get the job done. With this win, they can build momentum heading into their next contest.
