Hornets Fall Back To .500 Following Loss To Bulls

McGowens Finishes as Leading Scorer Again, Charlotte Shoots Just 34% in Defeat

Coming off a bit of a break-through performance 24 hours earlier, the offense of the Charlotte Hornets took a step back on Thursday afternoon in an 89-73 Summer League loss to the Chicago Bulls in Las Vegas, NV.

Rookie Bryce McGowens lead the Hornets in scoring for the second consecutive outing, finishing with 15 points, two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and no turnovers in the defeat. His shooting efficiency wasn’t nearly as sharp this time though, as he connected on just 4-of-18 attempts from the field and 1-of-7 from long range.
