What went wrong for the Charlotte Hornets?

Gordon Hayward goes AWOL

Gordon Hayward had a night to forget, scoring just 2 points on 1/7 shooting including 0/4 from three-point range. Both the point and the field goal percentage (14.3%) are new season lows for Hayward.

Nothing but Nets

Brooklyn shot 60.0% from the field, the highest shooting percentage by any Hornets opponent this season. The Nets did most of their damage inside the three-point line, knocking down 76.1% (35/46) of their two-point field goal attempts.
