I woke up, had some strong coffee, and voted for Charlotte Hornets star Kemba Walker in the NBA All-Star game. That’s how I dealt with the recent Hornet’s home loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
However, saying “loss” erases a lot of the context, it was more of a Mortal Kombat fatality type of a loss. Mavericks 122 to Hornets 84…yep, that’s 38 points. I could practically hear the video game’s signature “finish him” after the first quarter.
In the first twelve minutes, the Hornets allowed Dallas to hit 10 threes and score 42 points.
