The Charlotte Hornets did a good job limiting the Brooklyn Nets in the second half, but the offense couldn’t muster up enough points in the 102-86 loss.
Both teams got off to a strong offensive start. Mikal Bridges made all nine of his field goal attempts as the Nets started to build a lead when the Hornets went a little cold. When the Hornets were able to get the ball out of Bridges' hands, the other Nets were able to cash in from deep. It resulted in a 15 point deficit for the Hornets after one.
