Charlotte Hornets lost to
the Brooklyn Nets, 120 to 118 on Randy Foye three-pointer at the buzzer to win
it. Brooklyn overcame a 14-point deficit in the third quarter to snapped a
5-game losing streak, while the Hornets snapped their 3-game winning streak. Jeremy
Lin left the game in the third quarter and would not return due to a left
hamstring strained, the same injury that forced him to miss 17 games earlier in
the season. While Marco Belinelli missed his first game of the season after
spraining his left ankle Friday against the Chicago Bulls. The Hornets only had
11 turnovers, who is 2nd in the NBA with the fewest turnovers a game
with 11.9. Sean Kilpatrick made a tiebreaking 3 with 1:36 left in the fourth
quarter, Bojan Bogdanovic added another three 30 seconds left to make it
117-113; Nic Batum nailed a three-pointer, Bojan missed, Kemba Walker drove in
but got his shot blocked but Cody Zeller followed it up to give Charlotte a
one-point lead. After a Nets timeout, Brooklyn inbounded
the ball to the sideline, Faye caught it and shot it and won it for Brooklyn.
The MVP for the Hornets would be Jeremy Lamb with 17
points, who played well in the absents of Marco Belinelli and I wished he would
play like this daily, that would give the Hornets more depth off the bench,
which the Hornets desperately need this year. Hornets leading scorers are
Nicholas Batum with 24 points 5 rebounds 5 assists, Cody Zeller with 15 points
9 rebounds and Kemba Walker with 15 points 6 assists. Which the Hornets started
their pushed to get Kemba into this year All-Star game. Nets leading scorers
were Bojan Bogdanovic with 26 points, Sean Kilpatrick with 23 points, Brooke
Lopez who scored 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and Jeremy Lamb with
17 points. Charlotte Hornets (17-14) play again Wednesday at Orlando, Hornets
won the last four meetings, including a 109 to 88 won earlier this month.
