Milwaukee Bucks team news & key performers

The hosts endured a heart-breaking loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. LaMelo Ball led the charge for Charlotte, scoring 19 of his 26 points in the second half. Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo notching his first triple-double of the season—posting 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists—he couldn’t convert the game-winner at the buzzer.

The Bucks shot an impressive 51% from the floor, including a solid 41.7% (15-for-36) from beyond the arc. However, they were outworked on the boards, being outrebounded 53-40 and conceding 16 offensive rebounds. Adding to their woes, the Hornets capitalized at the free-throw line, attempting 10 more foul shots than Milwaukee.

The NBA fined Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers $25,000 for “public criticism of the officiating” on Sunday evening.

The fine was levied by league vice president, head of basketball operations Joe Dumars for Rivers’ roughly five-minute critique over the end-of-game officiating in the Bucks’ 115-114 loss to Charlotte on Saturday evening.

With the Bucks leading 114-113 Giannis Antetokounmpo was called for a foul on Hornets guard LaMelo Ball. Ball made two free throws to take the lead and Antetokounmpo eventually missed a potential game-winning jumper.

After the game crew chief Curtis Blair acknowledged that the leg-to-leg contact foul called on Antetokounmpo was incorrect.

“During postgame review when we looked at the play there was no illegal contact on the play,” Blair said.

Rivers’ frustration was compounded by the fact that Antetokounmpo was called for a foul against Detroit with 1-second left in regulation on Nov. 13. Pistons guard Ron Holland II missed both free throws, however, and the Bucks eventually won the game in overtime.
