In a recent NBA regular season game, the Hornets avoided a three-game losing streak with the Pacers on the road. In this game, the Hornets were in a state of explosive offensive form, they frantically bombed 158 points in the fourth quarter of the game, and finally beat the Pacers 158-126, and the whole team played a hearty scoring performance and blew up an offensive storm.
After the opening, the two teams began to attack on the offensive end, the Hornets trailed 33-36 in the first quarter, the Hornets bombed 38 points in the second quarter, the Pacers did not want to fall behind and bombed 34 points, and the Hornets rebounded by 1 point at halftime. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Hornets offensive state became more and more hot, the Pacers were discouraged, the Hornets bombed a wave of 42-24 offensive attacks in the single quarter to almost eliminate the suspense of the game, originally thought that the fourth quarter of the garbage time Hornets offense would be somewhat restrained, but throughout the fourth quarter, they frantically cut a high score of 45 points, and finally in the absence of overtime, the regular time bombed 158 points, which was amazing. The 158 points in a single game also set a new single-game high this season, after the Grizzlies scored 152 points in a single game against the Thunder.
At the same time, the Hornets recorded 87 points in the first half, 113 points in the first three quarters of the team's history, and 158 points in the whole game also set a single-game scoring record in the history of the team.
Although the Pacers scored in double figures with eight players in this game, playing a team offensive performance, they still could not withstand the crazy attack of the opponent. Three-goal Ramello Bauer continued to be in excellent shape, playing 38 minutes, 11 of 16 shooting, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and finally cut a large three-double stat of 29 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists, and the super talent was exhausted. Rozier also contributed 20 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, Bridges cut 22 points and 4 rebounds, Martin contributed 11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and Birknett also had 13 points and 3 rebounds. The number one contributor to helping the Hornets win is the Warriors' veteran Oubre.
Oubre played 35 minutes off the bench, shooting 12-of-18, 10-of-15 from three-point range, 5-of-6 from the free throw line, a game-high 39 points, and five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Oubre hit 10 3-pointers in a single game, the third player in the league to throw 10 3-pointers in a single game, the other two being Edwards of the Timberwolves and Fourniers of the Knicks. At the same time, he also became the player with the most points in a single game on the bench and the player who hit the most points in a single game on the bench.
Last season, Oubre's performance in the Warriors was not ideal, the state was fluctuating, and after the season, Oubre's contract expired, but the Warriors did not provide a contract that satisfied him, and they could not meet Oubre's requirements in terms of role positioning, so the latter chose to leave Golden State to switch to the Hornets. After coming to the Hornets, Oubre clarified his role and played a good performance, becoming an important member of the Hornets rotation. So far this season, Oubre has played 45 games for the Hornets, averaging 16.7 points, 4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 37.1% from 3 points.
In the past, Jordan's selection vision has been questioned, and the original introduction of the Warriors' performance to Oubre, which is fluctuating, has also aroused heated discussion, but from the current point of view, Jordan really chose the right person this time. Because Oubre not only played his rightful form, he also provided a huge help to the Hornets' forward line in the face of Hayward's repeated injuries, ensuring the strength and depth of the Hornets forward, as well as the hope of impacting the playoffs.
