The Hornets were agonizingly close to picking up their first NBA Summer League victory on Saturday night, even holding an 11-point lead with about six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. A late Raptors rally and a handful of self-inflicted mistakes ended up sending Charlotte to its second straight one-point loss after falling short against the Spurs on Thursday afternoon.
Easier said than done with a young, relatively inexperienced NBA team, the path to victory tonight is seemingly straightforward – the Hornets have to cut down on the turnovers and keep the ball moving, especially during crunch time.
