It was an all-out duel between the Warriors and Hornets on Sunday night, as the Hornets held off the Dubs in the final minute of the game to hand the squad a 106-102 loss.
While the Hornets gained their biggest lead of the night in the second quarter (7), the Dubs used a pair of splashes to bring the game to a tie and enter halftime 57-57. However with an uncharacteristic 3-point shooting night from the Dubs combined with a 7-0 spurt by Charlotte’s Terry Rozier in the final frame, the Warriors were unable to outlast the Hornets on the road.

WIGGINS DOES WORK
Though the Warriors were unable to pull out a win, Andrew Wiggins remained at work all night, leading all scorers with 28 points. The forward shot 12-for-19 from the field and was the most efficient Warrior at the perimeter, going 3-for-7 from deep. As a team, the Warriors had an uncharacteristically off shooting night, going just 9-for-39 (23.1 percent) from beyond the arc. This season, the Warriors rank second in the NBA in 3-point shooting (36.7 percent).
QUIRKY QUARTER FINISHES
There were a number of unique finishes to close out the final three quarters of Sunday’s contest, including a foul on Jonathan Kuminga with 0.6 seconds remaining in the first half to take the forward to the charity stripe for three attempts (1-for-3).
The quirky close outs continued in the third quarter as Stephen Curry, who finished the night with 24 points, proceeded to bank a 37-foot shot before the light to give the Dubs a 88-87 lead entering the fourth. While the Hornets outplayed the Warriors in the fourth frame, a jump ball call in the final seconds of regulation gave the Dubs a final chance at redemption, but it was not enough to overcome the Hornets.
KUMINGA EFFICEINCY
Rookie Jonathan Kuminga led the team in bench points (9) on Sunday, shooting 4-for-6 from the field and grabbing five rebounds and two steals in ten minutes of play. Kuminga’s efficiency and athleticism have been on display, with the first-year forward shooting 66.7 percent from the field over the last two games.
With the loss, the Warriors are now 11-2 on the season and remain on the road to continue the four-game road trip as the squad head to Brooklyn to face off against the Nets for the first time this season (TNT, 4:30 p.m.).
