Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec 23 at Charlotte Hornets
By Adam McGee
Major key for Milwaukee – Keep the ball moving
Friday’s win marked the first game of Eric Bledsoe‘s Bucks’ career in which he managed to dish out 10 or more assists, and the team’s second consecutive game with 27 assists overall.
Consistently one of the NBA’s best passing teams in recent years, this season has seen the Bucks move the ball a little less freely than Milwaukee’s fans have become accustomed to.
With a talented Big Three now in tow, and shooters like Tony Snell and Malcolm Brogdon on hand to offer further support, the Bucks would benefit significantly from more regular ball movement.
On the second night of a back-to-back when injuries could be a factor for their opponent, if Milwaukee can keep the ball moving and stretch the Hornets’ defense to its limits, they’ll have high percentage opportunities to build up a lead.
