CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ The Charlotte Hornets got a stop on the Milwaukee Bucks' final possession, forcing point guard Eric Bledsoe to heave a 32-foot miss at the buzzer, for a 110-107 victory at Spectrum Center.
Kemba Walker made two free throws with 7.1 seconds left to make the Hornets' lead 3. Walker finished with 21 points, matching fellow guard Jeremy Lamb's total.
The Hornets entered this game 1-7 this season in games decided by four points or less. They were also coming off a terrible defensive performance Sunday, giving up 124 points to the Atlanta Hawks, who broke a 10-game losing streak by topping the Hornets.
The Hornets, who had lost two straight, improved to 10-10. The Bucks fell to 14-6.
The Hornets played strong defense throughout the last three quarters, holding the Bucks to 41 percent shooting from the field. Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo had a near-triple double of 20 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists, but only one other Buck, Bledsoe (17 points off 13 shots) wasn't well contained.
