Down three key contributors, the Charlotte Hornets couldn’t overcome a huge mid-game Chicago run and dropped their Summer League finale, 99-74, on Monday night at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, NV.
Forward Kai Jones finished just shy of his second double-double in Summer League, racking up a team-high 16 points on 6-of-13 shooting, nine rebounds (four offensive) and a block in 29 minutes. Fellow rookie JT Thor also saved his best Vegas showing for last, racking up 15 points, nine rebounds (five offensive) and two blocks across 21 minutes off the bench.
