Lillard scores 27, leads 3-point barrage as Bucks beat Hornets to remain unbeaten in tourney play

Associated Press  

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Damian Lillard scored 27 points, Malik Beasley added 20 and the Milwaukee Bucks overcame a 37-point effort from LaMelo Ball to beat the Charlotte Hornets 130-99 on Friday night and remain unbeaten in NBA In-Season Tournament play. Griffin said he left his starters in the game in the fourth quarter with a big lead to help the Bucks’ point differential numbers in the tournament, which will go toward determining the one wild card team in each conference. “I think that has been real helpful the last couple of games because it gives me more time to see the coverages and see what’s happening and be able to assert myself,” Lillard said. “I’m able to have more impact on the direction of the game and also get myself going a little bit better that way.” Charlotte’s Miles Bridges looked strong in his first NBA action in 583 days, scoring 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting in 33 minutes.
