Charlotte Hornets blown out by Golden State Warriors, 126-111

Charlotte Hornets were blown out by the Golden State Warriors, 126 to 111 Wednesday night. It’s the second time in exactly a week these two teams played each other and both times the Hornets loss. Its Charlotte’s sixth straight loss and ninth straight loss on the road. Golden State were without starting center Zaza Pachulia, David West, and Shawn Livingston, while the Hornets were without starting center Cody Zeller for the fifth straight game due to a quadriceps contusion, Hornets are 1 of 11 this season when he doesn’t play. Steph Curry came out on firing making his first four three-pointers and scoring 18 points in the first quarter after missing one game due to an illness. It wasn’t a good game to watch for Hornets fans, by the end of the first quarter the game was basically over with and at the beginning of the fourth quarter both team’s starters were on bench. It didn’t help that the Hornets were on the second night of a back-to-back while Golden State had two days’ rest and was at home where it’s very hard to beat them.

            The MVP for the Hornets this game would be Frank Kaminsky who scored a career high 24 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Frank took advantaged of early miss matches and posted up and scored on easy shots to help him get going. Frank played good last night against the Blazers and hopefully this means he will start playing better because the Hornets need his scoring off the bench badly. The leading scorers for the Hornets were Marco Belinelli with 16 points 7 assists, Marvin Williams with 14 points and Nicolas Batum with 13 points 5 rebounds 7 assists. Golden State’s leading scorers were Stephen Curry who scored 39 points and dished out 8 assists in three quarters of play, Klay Thompson with 29 points and 8 assists, Kevin Durant with 18 points 8 rebounds 8 assists and JaVale McGee with 9 points and 4 blocks. Charlotte Hornets (23-27) play again Saturday night when go to Utah to face off against the Jazz.
