The Hornets Just Can’t Wrangle the Thunder in Fourth Quarter Nail-biter

Charlotte, N.C. – The Charlotte Hornets just fell short to the Oklahoma City Thunder during the Hornets' next-to-last home game of the season on Sunday, ending the contest at Charlotte's Spectrum Center in a 121-118 Hornets loss to an OKC team led by guard Aaron Wiggins (26 points), forward Chet Holmgren (20 points), and guard Josh Giddey (20 points) but lacking star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, out with a quad injury.

Still, halfway through, the Hornets were shooting a burly 60% from the field as a team. And Charlotte's starters notched decent numbers: All five hit double-digit points, with Grant Williams scoring 19, Tre Mann 18, Vasilije Miciu0107 17, Miles Bridges 15, and Brandon Miller 13.
