LOS ANGELES (AFP) — The Charlotte Hornets snapped Toronto’s nine-game winning streak on Saturday, stunning the Raptors 118-111 in a National Basketball Association (NBA) overtime thriller to bag just their sixth win of the season.
Miles Bridges scored 16 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter and overtime as the Hornets rallied against a Raptors team that appeared to be cruising when they led by 17 in the first quarter.
Rookie Kon Knueppel added 20 points for Charlotte and drained a three-pointer with 10.1 seconds left in regulation to force overtime.
After Toronto’s Scottie Barnes drove for a layup to open the extra session Bridges tied it again with a floater then gave Charlotte their first lead of the game with a three-pointer.
The Hornets wouldn’t trail again, out-scoring the Raptors 14-7 in overtime.
