Charlotte Hornets (7-7) – New York Knicks (7-6) 104:96 (BOXSCORE)

• After he still had 37 points from the bench in the win against the Grizzlies on Wednesday, Kelly Oubre Jr. left it after five away games in a row in the home hall at 12 points. However, 9 of them came in the fourth quarter and contributed to the second success in a row. Kemba Walker returned to his previous team with the Knicks and was unstoppable at all at the beginning. However, it cooled off in the course of the game and ended up with 26 points, which was not enough for the Knickerbockers.
• The Knicks, who recently missed a mega comeback against the Bucks after a 21-point deficit thanks to 68 bank points, got off to a very good start in contrast to their most recent appearances. Walker stood after six minutes at 14 counters, thanks to seven three-pointers, New York comfortably led after a quarter with +16 (34:18). Up until the break, the Hornets had struggled a little (46:55), thanks mainly to Gordon Hayward (13), while Miles Bridges was initially freezing (2/9 FG).
• After the break, the Hornets turned the tables with a 34:21 quarter and hit 56 percent of the field in this section, led by Terry Rozier (10). An exciting final section developed with spectacular scenes. Among other things, Bridges cleared Obi Toppin badly, who sank a Windmill dunk shortly afterwards. Bridges immediately followed suit and layup to +5 two minutes before the end. The Knicks had no answer left. Bridges made it all clear with a three point game.
• The New York top scorers Julius Randle and RJ Barrett caught a completely used day, who combined only got 12 points (Randle 10, 4/15, Barrett 2, 1/9 FG). The fact that Randle missed three free throws in a row shortly before the end fit into the picture. Otherwise, only Mitchell Robinson (11) and Alec Burks (15) scored double digits. The Hornets were led by Bridges (24, 8/17 FG), Hayward (22, 9/17 FG) and Rozier (18, 7/13 FG). LaMelo Ball missed a triple-double (12, 17 rebounds, 9 assists).
