PJ Washington scored 22 points to lead all five starters in double figures, but the Charlotte Hornets squandered a fourth quarter lead in a loss to the Indiana Pacers, 116-111.
After the teams traded three turnovers to start the game, Buddy Hield and PJ Washington exchanged layups to open the scoring. It proved to be a representative start of the game as both teams played at a frenetic pace that sometimes resulted in some sloppy basketball. The Hornets turned the ball over four times to almost match Friday’s entire tally within the first few minutes of the contest.
