We’re still a 10 seed team unfortunately.

LaMelo with the triple-double: 23 points, 12 boards, 10 assists

Headed to OT.

Got hosed on that replay review. Gave Lakers all the momentum. That's how they do small market teams.

Refs took a possession away from us but overall I’ll give credit to the team for fighting back.

The starters really stepped up tonight but our bench provided nothing.

It was also nice to see us finally go zone.

It was a mostly fun game. I wish they would have played Ish some, but I understand letting Rozier play the point to help get him into a rhythm.

We've harped on it for a long time now, but getting a better center is a must. Richards is fine for backup minutes, but still has a lot to learn. He made some mistakes, but he also played decent defense on AD a couple of times without fouling. Plumlee is also a backup at best. I don't know what the Hornets can do to improve the position without making a trade that will probably see them overpaying for a center since the other teams know the Hornets are badly in need of a starting caliber center.

almost afraid to watch this game against the champs.  But I'll watch as much as I can.  Would love to see us be competitive.

I think the Panthers and the Hornets were 3-0 at the same time, at least it was in the same time frame.   We could use a sign of life from someone.

Close game to start this one. Adams is of course having his way with the bigs.

Good scoring quarter but terrible defensive one.

First game I watched in a week because of the late night

Don’t know if it’s our lousy defense or whether all teams are just scoring 

thought we did good to hang in Q1

Wtf is wrong with this teams defense? Maybe not try to let Morant have a 80 point game.

Lousy defense.

[jayboogieman]

Best first half the Hornets have had on the road trip. Memphis missing a lot of shots helped.

[Captain Morgan]

they are giving us chances, but we're finally hitting shots and playing like a 5 man team again.  An 8 point lead at half is way better than I expected.
