Embiid is a freaking force. Bugs down 3 after one. good to see Gordon score. He's moving well.

wow, Gordon is all time leader in free throws in the playoffs. pretty wild.

thing is, we've seen the last 2 years how many games it takes for guys to get back in their rhythm ...better now than later though.

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 48m INJURY REPORT: @hornets @ PHI 4/2 Gordon Hayward (L Ankle) - Probable

a win, and we clinch a play in berth. I think the next game is a 12:30 start on Saturday, I'll update later

MILES!!! come on eric give him a hum diddley dee!

caught an elbow last game

Melo seems focused on winning this game.

bus up 91 to 83 to start the 4th....gonna need some vet leadership to put this game away.

looks like Miles was pissed at McDaniels defensive effort on that last 3...gave him the look, and Jalen hung his head

At The Hive @At_The_Hive · 18s I like this version of Kelly. Aggressive on the glass and defense and letting the offense come to him.

At The Hive @At_The_Hive · 1m Hornets trail 31-29 after one. Miles and KO doing most of the damage early.

7:30 tonight at the Knicks....we're slight favorites...we'll see.

welp, we had a chance moving on.

Denver giving us opportunities but we can't score

Montrez out with double techs, Hornets have lost the lead and momentum. Looks like Miles or Melo will have to save us tonight.

At The Hive @At_The_Hive · 7m Six straight from the Hornets to end the half and they lead by one. Ball: 10pts, 7asts, 4rebs Bridges: 10pts IT/Trez: 9pts apiece

well, glad to have the lead at half, thought it should be more. We at least look like we're playing hard, just having a hard time with their bigs moving too fast for us to stop. Denver is good at getting their big guys down the court in fast breaks.

damn, didn't realize we're right back at it tonight. Now I know why Borrego was giving non-starters a lot of minutes last night. You're right, our record stinks on 2nd day games. Maybe we'll realize we need every single win from here on out.

wow. Can we get some moe of this Cody?

Melo loves playing against legends he watched growing up, including Durant and Irving....he plays his best against the best. We may win this game.

nice finish to the half...Hornets seem to suddenly want to win. Good gameplan by B, Durant needing a last second layup to get to 10 points, make Kyrie beat us in his first home game and he's 2-9 for 6 pts. There's a chance.

they are shooting 23% from 3 and lead by 12 smh

^ yep. can't miss free throws like this in a playoff game. kudos to Melo for his rebounding. But we look outclassed tonight. They get too many O-rebounds and their D-rebounds lead to too many uncontested or barely contested fast breaks.
