In a close game, Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers expressed frustration over a late-game foul called on Giannis Antetokounmpo against LaMelo Ball, which led to the Charlotte Hornets' victory, 115-114. Rivers argued that the call was unjust as replays showed no contact, and this marked the second consecutive game where his team faced a controversial call in the final moments.

Antetokounmpo's missed jumper at the buzzer sealed the Bucks' fate, while Ball capitalized on the free throws to secure the win for Charlotte.
