The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Charlotte Hornets, 120 - 118, at Barclays Center on Monday. The 7 - 22 record the Nets came in to Monday's game with certainly inspired no confidence that they could topple a Hornets squad sporting a solid 17 - 12 mark, but the one glimmer of hope was the fact that all but one of Brooklyn's victories had come at home. Accordingly, the hosts put on a spectacular offensive display Monday, even after losing starting point guard Jeremy Lin to a hamstring injury in the third quarter. After a back - and - forth tussle for three quarters, the Nets entered the final period on the wrong end of an 88 - 83 score. However, they battled back to take a 111 - 105 lead with just 3:4 remaining after a Sean Kilpatrick three - pointer. The Hornets would n't go quietly however, and following a Cody Zeller put - back with three seconds left, they were back up on top by a 118 - 117 margin. That set up a final possession for Brooklyn, one that culminated in a buzzer - beating 25 - foot three - pointer from veteran sharpshooter Randy Foye that sealed the victory. Notably, it was Foye's only basket of the evening. Charlotte was paced by a 24 - point effort from Nicolas Batum, which he supplemented with five rebounds, five assists and three steals. Jeremy Lamb followed from the bench with 17 points, four rebounds, an assist and a block. Kemba Walker and Zeller contributed a pair of 15 - point efforts, with the former also supplying six assists, three rebounds and two steals, and the latter adding nine rebounds, two assists and a steal. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist contributed a 12 - point, 10 - rebound double - double that also included two assists and two blocks. Frank Kaminsky was productive in a reserve role as well with 13 points and five rebounds. The Nets saw Bojan Bogdanovic lead them with 26 points in 27 minutes off the bench, a total he supplemented with four rebounds and two assists. Kilpatrick followed with 23 points, five boards and four assists. His point total consisted of a 9 - of - 15 tally from the field, including 4 - of - 7 from three - point range. Brook Lopez supplied 21 points, five, rebounds, five assists and three blocks. Jeremy Lin registered 17 points, four assists and a pair of steals. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson continued to be productive as a reserve with 10 points and four boards. The Hornets head down to Central Florida for a Wednesday night with the Orlando Magic, while the Nets visit Chicago on Wednesday evening as well.
