A loss to the Charlotte Hornets is never a good thing to have on a resume, especially when the Indiana Pacers held a major fourth quarter lead. But playing without Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner, while Goga Bitadze and T.J. Leaf got into major foul trouble, is not a recipe for victory against any opponent.
