[645]

ON THE COURT
Player of the game: Center Tyson Chandler had a huge rebounding night for the Hornets, who punished the Bucks on the boards, 71-49. Chandler had 22.

Plays of the game: After the Bucks had rallied to tie the score at 82-82 late in regulation, two consecutive tip-ins by Chandler were disallowed because of offensive basket interference.

Statistics sheet: Defensive three-second technical fouls were the call of the night early, as two such violations were called against the Bucks in the first quarter and one against the Hornets.

Off the bench: With Bucks newcomer Jared Reiner not yet programmed into the Hornets' computer system, Reiner's first-quarter statistics were given to Brian Skinner. The situation was corrected by halftime.
