Nick Smith Jr. made five straight 3-pointers as part of a 17 point fourth quarter, but the Charlotte Hornets dug themselves too deep of a whole in the third quarter for it to matter. They lost to the Denver Nuggets, 102-95.
Summary
The Hornets got off to a very good start. They quickly rushed out to an 8-0 lead and then extended that to a 14-4 advantage. Cody Martin got his first minutes in almost a year and was tasked with covering Michael Porter Jr. Porter gave him a nice return present of two 3-pointers splashed in his face.
