Though Ball appeared to trip over his own feet on a drive, Antetokounmpo was whistled for impeding Ball’s progress. Ball sunk the go-ahead free throws to give Charlotte the lead and eventually drop the Bucks to 4-9 on the season when Antetokounmpo missed a mid-range jumper on the Bucks’ final possession. “There was clearly not a foul,” Bucks coach Doc Rivers said. “When you watch the video, the ref was blocked out by one of our players. You can’t guess at the end of the game. Both teams have played too hard.” -via New York Times / November 16, 2024 Rod Boone: Final: Magic 114, #Hornets 89 LaMelo 35 pts, 7 asts, 6 rebs Grant Williams 15 pts, 5 rebs Moussa Diabate 12 pts, 13 rebs Up next: vs. Milwaukee on Saturday -via Twitter @rodboone / November 12, 2024
