Nicolas Batum scored 18 points and Kemba Walker took over the fourth quarter as the Hornets rolled past the Grizzlies for a 118
The shooting at the beginning of the game was as frigid as the Memphis air. Both teams combined to hit just two of their first 14 shots. The pace picked up midway through the period and the Hornets hit three straight 3-pointers to flip the momentum of the game. A Malik Monk driving layup was answered by Omri Casspi’s layup in the waning seconds to set the first quarter score at 23-22.
