Bucks shot 35-for-51 (69%) on 2-pointers & 20-for-34 (59%) on 3-pointers (including 10-for-10 from the corners) vs. the Hornets last night.
Their effective FG% of 76.5% was the 13th highest for any game in NBA history (highest in NBA Cup history).

Brandon Williams got subbed out after trying to throw a fast-break lob to Lively off the glass, even though he has the only coach who can't complain about such audacity.

Nice effort by the Hornets, but the Bucks simply can't be beat in NBA Cup pool play. Now 10-0 all time.

Reasons to switch from the default (home team) stream on League Pass...
1. Hornets are playing a close game on the road.

My assumption is that, if/when the Pistons are fully healthy, Duncan Robinson is a starter/closer. Having a terrific season.

Couple of mebounds in there, which means he owes Angel Reese $4.26.
Less than three minutes into the game, Mitchell Robinson has four offensive rebounds. This is getting preposterous.

Sometimes you get a 70-38 1st half in a rest-advantage game.
Oh wait... the Thunder are the team that played last night.

This was Bradley Beal's last play. Somewhat of an awkward landing.
He didn't ask out of the game, but they did sub him out when the Clips committed a foul on the ensuing possession, & he seemed to walk back toward the locker room.

Is Noah Clowney a decent player now?
Feels like the size/skills have always been there, but he's always played in second gear. Needed to have more motor.

Sixers gotta communicate better, no? If Grimes is coming with the double-team from one side, Oubre has got to shift his body & force him that way.
Cade Cunningham is pretty good at this. Sees the double coming, goes left to get away from it and knocks down this shot.

Going back to March & including Games 2-5 of the conf. semis, the Warriors have lost their last 8 games without Stephen Curry.
That streak will be challenged if he remains out vs. Indiana on Sunday.
