The Hornets lost a close game Saturday in what could have been a win, or at least a trip to overtime, had a foul been called in the final seconds against Toronto.
The NBA’s two-minute report later confirmed that a foul should have been called on Toronto’s Stanley Johnson for making contact with the Hornets’ Terry Rozier as he attempted to even the score with a missed 3-point shot in Charlotte’s 116-113 defeat. Instead at the buzzer, the Hornets settled for their third loss in row.
Hornets coach James Borrego said after the game he thought there was a foul on Rozier.
