Hornets hold worst record in NBA after OT loss to Pistons

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 28 points as LaMelo Ball returned to the lineup but the Charlotte Hornets lost to the Detroit Pistons in a battle between the league's two worst teams.

Charlotte came back from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to tie the game multiple times in the final minutes. That last tie in the 4th quarter came off of a Mason Plumlee tip-in that sent the game into overtime with a 127-127 score.

In overtime, the Hornets were without Ball, who fouled out at the end of regulation.
