The Charlotte Hornets (35-46) were defeated by the Indiana Pacers (48-33) as they’ve now lost five of their last six games. Malik Monk was the only Charlotte player to reach 20 points as he led a fourth-quarter run that ultimately came up short. The Queen City team failed to slow down Indiana’s dynamic duo of Domantas Sabonis and Victor Oladipo.
The Hornets were without Cody Zeller (left knee soreness), Michael Carter-Williams (left shoulder surgery), Dwayne Bacon (right ankle sprain) and Treveon Graham (concussion protocol) in this one.
