The Thunder shot just 42.7 percent from the field with George going 4 of 20. They were at 30.4 percent at halftime, trailing 48-44 at the half.

Charlotte scored the first 14 points of the second half and led 66-47 midway through the third quarter, but Oklahoma City fought back to cut the lead to 77-73 after three quarters.

Malik Monk and Kemba Walker led the Hornets with 21 points apiece. Tony Parker scored 17, Jeremy Lamb scored 13 and Nicolas Batum finished with 10. The Hornets were cold, too, finishing at 40.9 percent from the field and 11 of 41 from 3-point range.
