A depleted Charlotte Hornets squad fought as long as possible on Sunday night before running out of gas in the fourth quarter in a 122-110 home loss to the San Antonio Spurs at Spectrum Center.
Terry Rozier had another masterful showing for the hosts, finishing with a game-high 33 points (16 in the first quarter) on 14-of-29 shooting, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 40 minutes of action. Rozier is now the first Hornets player to score 30 points in three consecutive outings since Kemba Walker had a five-game stretch from Feb. 2-11, 2019.
Charlotte entered the night without a pair of starters in Gordon Hayward (lower back discomfort) and PJ Washington (Health and Safety Protocols), as well both Cody and Caleb Martin (Health and Safety Protocols).
