Hornets step up in a crucial 122-114 win over the Nuggets

Hasn’t that been said a lot this year?

Either way, the Hornets muscled together whatever they had left in the tank and notched a huge home victory over the Denver Nuggets, 122-114.

It wasn’t always pretty, though. In fact, there was a damper mood after the Hornets put together a poor third quarter and trailed by eight heading into the last 12 minutes. But just like Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors, the Hornets exploded for an impressive scoring output in the fourth in what was an important game for both teams.

Heading into tonight, the Denver Nuggets held the ninth spot in the Western Conference, sitting behind the Portland Trail Blazers by a game and a half plus a tiebreaker.
