The Charlotte Hornets squandered another great opportunity Thursday night, blowing a fourth quarter lead to the Phoenix Suns and suffering their eighth loss of the year as a result. Turnovers were a familiar theme for the away team, as Charlotte's 27 giveaways were enough to see the Suns secure a 101-96 victory.
Still playing on a minutes restriction since returning from a calf injury, Coby White led the Hornets on offense, finishing with 21 points in 20 minutes on 8-for-16 shooting from the field. Grant Williams, who made his season debut after missing the first 11 games of the season, was impressive off the bench, tallying 11 points, two rebounds, one assist and one block on 3-for-5 shooting. For Phoenix, it was Devin Booker who got the job
done, ending with 30 points and three steals on 12-for-20 shooting. Prior to Charlotte's next matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, here are the best photos from Thursday's contest:
