Kelly Oubre, Terry Rozier, and PJ Washington combined to score 90 points and the Charlotte Hornets overcame a nine point deficit in the final 45 seconds to force overtime, but they ran out of gas in the second overtime and lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 132-122.
The Hornets took a few possessions to adjust to the Cavaliers length, but a pair of Mason Plumlee free throws and PJ Washington jumpers got the Hornets in the scoresheet. The Hornets were able to stop a 9-0 Cavaliers run with a drawn up play for Gordon Hayward’s first bucket since injuring his shoulder, but it didn’t do much to stop the bleeding.
