The Charlotte Hornets erased a 22 point deficit to beat the Sacramento Kings in overtime. It was one of the most exciting games of the season, and improved the Hornets to 3-0 on their current seven game home stand. A lot stood out.
First, what happened in the 3rd quarter?
The Hornets were tied 60-60 heading into halftime, but found themselves down 17 heading into the fourth. It was a dumpster fire of a quarter, with the Hornets playing poor on both sides of the ball. Sacramento caught fire, the Hornets didn't match their intensity, and suddenly they found themselves trailing by 22.
