How to Watch Oklahoma City Thunder at Charlotte Hornets
Rookie Kon Knueppel tied the game with 21 seconds left, but the Milwaukee Bucks overwhelmed the Hornets in overtime on Friday night to take a 147-134 victory and drop Charlotte to 0-2 in East Group C play in the NBA Cup. Knueppel scored a career-high 32 points while Miles Bridges also dropped 32. LaMelo Ball finished with 16 points and 10 assists, and Moussa Diabaté, making his first start of the season, went for 15 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out.
Oklahoma City last played on Wednesday, blowing out the visiting Los Angeles Lakers 121-92 without Luguentz Dort, who is questionable for Saturday due to a shoulder injury. Reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 30 points and nine assists while Isaiah Joe scored 21 off the bench and Isaiah Hartenstein checked in with 11 points and eight rebounds.
Gilgeous-Alexander leads the Thunder with averages of 32.5 points and 6.6 assists, while Chet Holmgren puts up 18.7 points per game, Hartenstein gets 12.8 points and 11.2 rebounds a night, and Cason Wallace leads the NBA with 2.3 steals per contest.
