In their last two away games, the Bucks have come away with solid wins. First, the Bucks defeated the Denver Nuggets (120-109) and then the Indiana Pacers (118-100). These successes lifted them to fourth place in the East.
Charlotte Hornets:
The Charlotte Hornets haven’t been at their best in the last two games. First, the Hornets lost on the road to the Houston Rockets (143-146) and then to the Chicago Bulls (119-133). For some reason, Borrego’s men decided to play open games against these teams. As we’ve seen, such tactics were unsuccessful.
