The Hornets shaky start, a Pelicans 18-0 run, is what cost them an otherwise decent showing.
Bryce McGowens was the star on offense, leading the team with 19 points and 4 rebounds, whilst 31st pick James Nnaji seemed to be everywhere, notching a summer league high of 12 rebounds, including 8 offensive rebounds.
It was the remarkable start from the Pelicans roster that cost the Hornets the game, going on an 18-0 run to start the match.
The Hornets showed heart and belief, clawing back to within 1 point, but they were never able to fully snatch the lead.
In the end it was the foul game, with each team getting their chance to knock down free throws, and the Pelicans came out victorious.
