GAMENOTES: Charlotte Hornets (4-11) vs. Indiana Pacers (6-6)

Charlotte Hornets 116 (4-12) - Indiana Pacers 125 (7-6)

THE BOXSCORE

QUICK TAKES FOR LOCKED ON HORNETS

1. If the LaMelo injury is as serious as it looks this is disappointing on so many levels.

   1. This was supposed to be a LaMelo leap year.

   2. There will be no ASG follow up

   3. There’s a chance he never comes back the same (although Steph went through something like this.)

   4. It’s a lost year to find a rhythm with Clifford

2. Another game they were in that they just didn’t have enough to win. Turnovers and general poor offensive execution are killing the halfcourt offense. Health has been a factor but they are a demonstrably worse half court team on offense than last season. 

3. WE BEEN YAMMIN. I HOPE YOU LIKE YAMMIN TOO!

THE BIG STORIES

• The things we were all hoping wouldn’t happen, happened. Late in the 4th quarter, LaMelo Ball turned his ankle going out of bounds for a loose ball and stepping on a fan’s foot. 

• Why did they lose this game?
