Charlotte Sends Martin Off On Winning Note in Indiana

Result

The Hornets closed the 2017-18 season on a winning note on Tuesday in Indiana with a 119-93 win over the Pacers, sending legendary broadcaster Steve Martin into retirement on a winning note after 30 years calling Charlotte basketball. Frank Kaminsky led a total team effort with 24 points, as six different Hornets finished with 14+ points.

Turning Point

The Hornets wanted to get off to a hot start on the road to come away with a victory in their final regular season and got just that. Despite trailing 13-10 to start the contest, Charlotte quickly regrouped on the back of a 21-4 run to take a 31-17 lead and finished the first quarter on a Frank Kaminsky half-court three-pointer that gave the Hornets a 37-25 lead.
