— Miles Bridges scored 14 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter and LaMelo Ball had 20 points and 15 rebounds to help lead the Charlotte Hornets past theKelly Oubre Jr. chipped in 21 points on 8-for-11 shooting, including four 3-pointers. Terry Rozier added 15 points for the Hornets, who have won eight of their last 11 games."This is not where we ultimately want to end up. I'm proud of this group," Hornets coach James Borrego said.
"The goal is to play after the regular season," Oubre said."For us to get a minor win and clinching a play-in spot is growth, but we have to continue to stay locked in for what's to come." The loss dropped the 11th place Knicks to 34-43, and 5 ½ games behind the Atlanta for the 10th spot in the East. New York's magic number for elimination is two.Charlotte had its 12-point lead in the fourth quarter cut to 109-105 after three-point play from Randle with 3:39 remaining.
"I just watch great players take over in the fourth quarter all the time, Bron, Kobe, KD, those type of guys. And that is where the real players show up," Bridges said."You could score as many points as you want in the first, second and third, but once that fourth quarter comes around, every shot matters."
