The Milwaukee Bucks picked up their 40th win of the 2019-20 season Friday afternoon when they outlasted the Charlotte Hornets in Paris, France.

After a week taking in the sights and sounds of Paris, the Milwaukee Bucks capped off their business trip with a 116-103 victory over the Charlotte Hornets at AccorHotels Arena Friday afternoon.

Playing in front of a sold-out crowd that was headlined by NBA greats such as Bucks legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Dikembe Mutombo, as well as soccer superstars like Neymar Jr. and Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain, the Bucks were the stars of the show, thanks to the presence of reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
