Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Win Over Charlotte Hornets
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks ensured they wouldn’t finish any worse than the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference with a win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.
The Milwaukee Bucks failed to score 90 points on Monday night when the Charlotte Hornets visited Milwaukee for the Bucks last home game of the year, which Milwaukee would win by ten points. That is noteworthy for some important reasons and some trivial ones.
First, the trivial part: that was the first time all season the Bucks won a game and the team scored less than 90 points. Milwaukee was 0-8 in such games thus far.

It’s tough to not look ahead to the playoffs already, but first the Bucks need to wrap up the regular season. Milwaukee almost forgot that in the middle of their game against the Hornets on Monday night.
