After totaling 66 points and 13 three-pointers through the opening two frames of Tuesday night’s outing at Madison Square Garden, the Hornets ran into a brick wall in the third quarter with the Knicks taking control in an eventual 109-97 win. Charlotte simply failed to respond to New York’s physicality during this 12-minute span, finishing with just 16 points and five turnovers, while allowing seven offensive rebounds. PJ Washington (26 points), Terry Rozier (21) and Miles Bridges (15 and 14 rebounds) all had nice performances, but one bad quarter proved too costly in the team’s road-trip opener two nights ago.
