The Milwaukee Bucks held off a late rally from the Charlotte Hornets to secure a 125-119 victory, sweeping their four-game home stand and improving to 8-9 on the season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 32 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists, as the Bucks climbed to fifth in the Eastern Conference after a challenging start to the season.
Another dominant double-double from Giannis.

Milwaukee appeared to be cruising with a 110-90 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Charlotte stormed back behind a sensational performance from LaMelo Ball, who dropped a career-high 50 points.

A clutch three-pointer from Brandon Miller cut the deficit to 121-119 late in the game, but the Bucks sealed the win at the free-throw line with Taurean Prince and Antetokounmpo each knocking down two in the final moments.
Despite Ball’s heroics, Charlotte dropped to 6-10 with the loss, struggling to find consistency this season.
Milwaukee, on the other hand, seems to be hitting its stride, leveraging Antetokounmpo’s dominance to reverse the team’s early-season struggles and reestablish themselves as a contender in the East.
