The Charlotte Hornets are in the NBA Play-In Tournament and still alive, having beaten Miami in a thriller Tuesday night.
Kon Knueppel didnāt play especially well, shooting just 2-12 and 0-6 on his three-point attempts, and finishing with just 6. Sion James didnāt have a big game offensively either, scoring just 2 points.
Itās been a while since a former Tar Heel had a major impact on the post-season. Can you remember the last one? Itās tough, isnāt it?
To put it in a different perspective, the last player out of UNC to be an All-Star was Vince Carter.
Well, that changed Tuesday night as former Tar Heel Coby White hit an improbable jumper to tie the game at 114-114 and ultimately put it into overtime.
LaMelo Ball hit the game-winner in overtime, but this play against Bam Adebayo may see him suspended for Charlotteās final play-in game against the Phoenix Suns.
With Mark Williams, Grayson Allen, and Khaman Maluach, that will be a bit of a Brotherhood reunion.
