Summer League Ends for Hornets After Loss to Toronto

GALLERY: Hornets vs. Raptors

Another tightly-contested Summer League outing for the Charlotte Hornets didn’t fall their way as they were eliminated from the competition with an 87-84 overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors on Saturday, July 14 in Las Vegas, NV.

Dwayne Bacon erupted for a team-Summer-League-high 28 points, five rebounds and two assists in the loss. The Florida State product narrowly missed the first 30-point performance by a Charlotte player in Summer League play since Byron Mullens’ franchise-record 33-point outing in 2012.

In a game that featured 11 lead changes and 12 ties, both teams were knotted at 82-82 before rookie Rawle Alkins knocked down a big three-pointer with 31.
