Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: March 28 at Charlotte Hornets
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks need a bounce back win, and they’ll have a chance to get one against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.
Not many people expected the Chicago Bulls to blow out the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon, but that’s what happened. After a close first half, Chicago steamrolled the Bucks in the third quarter and cruised to an easy victory.
That result wasn’t great for the Bucks. Instead of having sole possession of the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks are now tied in record with the Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers.

There’s still a lot of season left for Milwaukee to improve on its standing in the East, but the Bucks will have to play a lot better than the team did on Sunday for that to happen. Luckily for Milwaukee, the Charlotte Hornets have not been a strong team this season.
The Hornets are 33-40 this season, which is bad enough for 11th place in the East. Charlotte has been better of late though, as the Hornets have won four of their last five games. Their only loss in that stretch was against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
To see how either of these teams could pull out the win on Tuesday night, we’ll look at major keys to victory for both the Bucks and the Hornets, followed by a Charlotte player to watch. Finally, our staff will make score predictions on the game.
