Hornets Edge Out Spurs in a Thrilling Matchup! OMG!
=
The Charlotte Hornets, they hosted the San Antonio Spurs at the Spectrum Center on Feb 8th, 2024. It was a crazy game, like, seriously! The Hornets won, 123-115. I’m still kinda shakin’. This article? It’s gonna break down the whole thing – the good, the bad, and the REALLY ugly fouls.
A Night to Remember, Man!
Hornets got their 32nd win, 32-20, thats a pretty good record, right? The Spurs? They’re at 25-28. Poor guys. But seriously, the Spurs played amazing, but the Hornets? They just wanted it more. I think. Maybe.
Key Performances – Some Guys REALLY Shined
P.J. Washington and Mamadi Diakite were on FIRE! Washington? 32 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists. Diakite? 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 assists! Dude, I was screaming! Dejounte Murray for the Spurs also played great, 28 points, 8 assists, 4 steals! Amazing, even with that ankle sprain. The guy’s a beast!
Injuries and Suspensions – Ouch!
LaMelo Ball’s out with a right ankle sprain. Ugh. And Miles Bridges? Right knee injury. Total bummer. The Spurs also had Murray listed as questionable – that ankle looked nasty!
Coaching Decisions – Smart Moves?
Hornets coach Steve Clifford, he made some lineup changes because of all the injuries. It worked, though! Popovich started Murray despite the injury. Risky, but hey, it almost worked! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
Game Stats – Numbers Don’t Lie (Mostly)
123-115. Enough said. Hornets outrebounded the Spurs, 42-38. Assists were 28 to 25. Turnovers? Hornets had 12, Spurs 15. See? The Hornets were cleaner!
