Ninth defeat of the season for i Milwaukee Bucksovercome 115-114 by the Charlotte Hornets in a thrilling final. The Wisconsin team thus slips to twelfth place in the Eastern Conference.
Post-game, the Bucks head coach, Doc Riverswas particularly critical of the refereeing suffered by his team in the last few matches:
It is the second consecutive match in which, in the decisive moments, we suffered an incorrect call against us
Doc Rivers
What infuriated Rivers above all was the foul awarded to LaMelo Ball in the final seconds, which allowed the Hornets star to close the game from the foul line:
LaMelo clearly fell by himself, none of my players were near him. If they hadn’t blown the whistle, we would have retained possession and won the game. It is a situation that penalizes enormously
Doc Rivers
Beyond the refereeing controversies, the Milwaukee Bucks’ start to the season is turning out to be a real disaster. Not even MVP performances Giannis Antetokounmpo they are enough to lift a team that is struggling to move up the table in an Eastern Conference visibly lacking in convincing results.
