The Brooklyn Nets held off the Charlotte Hornets 117-115 Saturday, following a controversial final possession in which the Hornets’ Kemba Walker did not get off a shot and appeared to be fouled by the Nets’ Caris Lavert.
Walker pump-faked, appeared to draw contact from Lavert along the body, but there was no whistle as time expired.
The Hornets had recovered from as much as 19 points down to lead in the fourth quarter.
