Controversial Calls and Comments Ignite Tensions in Hornets vs. Bucks Clash

Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball sparked controversy with a homophobic remark during a post-game interview after a narrow 115-114 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Ball's comment, 'We loaded up – no homo,' drew mixed reactions from fans, with some predicting a fine similar to past NBA incidents. The game itself was contentious, with a disputed foul call against Giannis Antetokounmpo in the final seconds, which referees later admitted was incorrect. This follows a similar incident in a previous game against the Detroit Pistons.
