The Spurs were well on their way to another disappointing home loss. After a catastrophic 2nd quarter fueled by turnovers and poor decision making, the Silver and Black came out of halftime staring up at a 13 point deficit and proceeded to dig the hole even deeper. Just 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter, the Hornets held an 18 point lead and seemed destined for their 17th win of the season. But destiny is fickle and fortunes can change in an instant.
Derrick White and Jakob Poeltl checked in at the next dead ball and turned the game on its head.
