Recap: James Bouknight scores 24 points as Hornets win dumb game over Kings, 124-123

James Bouknight scored 24 points to lead five Charlotte Hornets who scored at least 19 points as they took down the Sacramento Kings, 124-123.

The game started exactly how you’d expect a game between two fast paced teams that play poor teams to start. James Borrego called a timeout exactly four minutes into the game. At that point, the score was already 16-15 (a 192-180 full game pace). The pace only let up a little bit from there. The Hornets led 37-36 after a frenetic first quarter and were led by none other than Cody Martin in scoring, who had 11 points in the opening frame.
