For fourth-quarter defense, Thunder turns to Huestis

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Terrance Ferguson got another start on Saturday.

But Josh Huestis was the Thunder's finisher in a 101-91 win against the Hornets.

Ferguson, Oklahoma City's rookie shooting guard, started his sixth straight game in place of Andre Roberson and finished with three points, a rebound and an assist in 17 minutes.

Ferguson struggled in the first half with the task of guarding Hornets veteran Nicolas Batum, however, and with the Thunder staked to a late lead, Billy Donovan wanted a different look down the stretch.
