Thoughtful!👅
Jason Tatum with 40 points is bizarre
If the hornets wasn’t the 13th seed you could make a argument for lamelo being a top 6 mvp candidate
melo been nothing but turnin it up for us. Hopefully this game will be a change of events going forward! We need this momentum, go hornets!
Melo putting up big MVP numbers over the past 10 games and what a choke job by JT & Jrue missing crucial free throws
Let’s freaking go I was there, I also got a autographed ball by Dell curry.
This match was Wonderful just wonderful 💀
That 3rd missed free throw by Tatum 😢
This hornets team is exciting to watch, some may disagree but what I can see they can bring something exciting hopefully every night! Cant wait to see Brandon Miller be the star he could most definitely be. Go buzz city!
We have an amazing team, and Tatum got 45 points but we still lost it just doesn't make sense even with ball making a lot of baskets
RIP to my excitement. Thanks scorebiard for the spoilers.
Great game was there courtesies and had an amazing time
