Well, it wasn't giving up 51 in the first tonight, but the Bucks still down 41-40 midway through the 2nd.
Bucks are 4 for 17 from three.

Tied at 64 at half. Hornets go 6-0 at the end of the half on some questionable officiating. Bucks have 3 FT attempts to the Hornets 10.
I know he didnt start, but is Middleton playing?
Ah, how are the Bucks tied with the team, who have ONLY 15, playing like the losers??? WTH???
The Hornets are a lousy team record-wise, but they have the Bucks number. They are staying in this game by hitting corner 3 after corner 3 and by making anyone but Giannis beat them on the other end.
The Bucks have already lost games to the Spurs, Rockets, and Hornets and they are behind the Hornets again the second half.
Now down 4 to a really bad basketball team.

Yes. And looking much smoother on the offensive end.
Bucks stretch it up to 7 at the end of third.
Middleton looking like himself. 18 points in 14 minutes. 11 in the period when Giannis and Jrue rested.
Bucks quit jacking threes on every possession and the lead is now double digits.
Bucks getting really sloppy. About to let a 13 point lead with 3 minutes left get away.
Only up 6. Holiday misses a dunk. Two bad turnovers.
Bucks are 1 for their last 15 from the field. Mainly with Giannis sitting down.
4 point game with 1:06 left.
Missed FTs and another 3 point play.
Bucks hold on, but Giannis looks to have tweaked his knee going for a meaningless chase down block with about 25 seconds left. Probably sits out the next game.
