The losing streak extended to three games for the Dallas Mavericks as they lost to the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets, who are eliminated from this year’s playoff contention already, may have just pulled off one of the biggest upsets of this season. 24 hours after the image of an empty Hornets bench started making the rounds online, Michael Jordan’s Charlotte decided to kick things into a higher gear, leading fans to slam the Mavericks’ star duo.

The game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Charlotte Hornets ended with a final score of 117-109. Despite a strong performance from Luka Doncic, the Hornets were too much for the Mavericks to handle. In the process, the Hornets dented the Mavericks’ hope of making the Playoffs automatically.

The latest addition to the Mavericks roster, Kyrie Irving had an off-night against Charlotte. Irving ended the night with 18 points, shooting 6-16 from the field and 1-8 from beyond the arc. He also notched 9 rebounds and 7 assists for the game.

Even though Doncic scored a game-high 34 points, along with 10 rebounds and 8 assists, the entire Hornets team seemed locked in for the game. Each of the Hornets’ starting five scored in double-digits for the game.
