CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Warriors overcame a double-digit deficit after the break and held a four-point lead with about a minute remaining, but couldn’t hold on and fell to the Charlotte Hornets 120-113 in overtime.
Back-to-back Hornets’ basket knotted the game up at 107 with about 23 seconds remaining.
The ball was in Stephen Curry’s hands to deliver the dagger in his hometown. But Dennis Smith Jr. smothered Curry, who barely got a shot off at the buzzer that was off the mark, sending the game into overtime.
