The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 122-118, at StateFarm Arena on Saturday.

The Hornets (13-34) and the Hawks (24-23) played a tight contest that went down to the wire, and it was a game that was only decided in the final stages of the contest, literally. Atlanta looked better in the early going, though, racing out to a 31-25 score in the first quarter and bolstering that lead to 16 points by the halftime arrived. Charlotte looked better in the second half, however, and they reduced the deficit to just eight points with 12 minutes left on the clock.
