CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- One night after breaking their 11-game losing streak, the Nets found themselves locked in a stretch duel Saturday night at Spectrum Center. But they hadn't won back-to-back games all season and that streak remained intact as they fell to a fourth-quarter flurry of seven threes, including one backbreaker that turned into a four-point play, in a 112-105 loss to the Hornets.
