Recap/Analysis: Starters tie but Hornets lose to Knicks

The Charlotte Hornets went toe to toe with the New York Knicks, particularly when the starters were in, but they lost the game, 111-109.

The Summary

The first quarter gave Hornets fans something to be excited about. While the result was nice, it was more exciting to see a team that played with good offensive movement and an emphasis on creating spot up opportunities. They hit 8-of-11 3-point attempts in the period with Tre Mann hitting three of them. Rookie Tidjane Salaün stole the show in the second quarter. He used a jab space to create an angle then scored his first career bucket with a running hook through the lane.
