The Wasps went up to 5-7 (4-3 at home and 1-4 away), with LaMelo Ball slipping to 7.3″ and the referees charging Giannis Antetokounmpo with a very severe foul (before declaring that there was no foul at all) who put on a spectacular display by setting up his teammates with incredible creations.The Hornets guard put up the layup before the Greek Freak took the shot from mid-range, found the iron and missed the chance to put together her fastest triple-double of his career with a third straight win.
Epic performance from Moussa Diabate, a big man who is in Charlotte on a two-way contract. He scored 12 points on 6/7 2-point shooting, collected 10 offensive rebounds (had 14 total), blocked three shots, all in 24:46. The hosts scored 21 points from second chances, 13 more than their opponents.
The Bucks fell to 4-9 (3-3 at home and 1-6 away), with the leader Antetokounmpo’s 22/15/12 being trashed.

Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton did not play, nor did backup guard Ryan Rollins, leaving Doc Rivers with just one ace.

He entered the game surprisingly, played 10:38 in the first period, had six points (3/6 2-pointers), six rebounds, six assists and an amazing block with a foul and a foul. It took him seven minutes in the second to record another 6/2/3, and as much as those around him did a good job offensively (Prince 15 points in the first half, Portis 11), he bought time.
Early in the second half, he scored from mid-range again and again, recorded the fastest triple-double of his career in 22:03, rested for a while and returned to the game for the final six minutes with the score at 101-105.
In the 45′ he missed from five meters with the score at 107-107, shortly after he made an EPIC nailing on the surprise for 110-109, he assisted on a three-pointer by Connaughton and another on a two-pointer by the same player for 113-114, but at 7.3″ he saw the referees charge him with a foul on Ball who made the shots for the pass (115-114). And in the finale he missed the shot from five meters that would have given his team the third consecutive victory. From this the distance was 4/8 in the race.
