No one ever became an NBA All-Star off a summer-league performance, but Charlotte Hornets rookie Dwayne Bacon surely shined Thursday.
Bacon, the Hornets’ second-round pick from Florida State, scored 29 points and grabbed eight rebounds in an 86-78 victory over the Magic in the Orlando Summer League. That game completed the five-game summer schedule for the Hornets at 3-2.
