Nicolas Batum scores 31 as Hornets are eliminated
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum scored 31 points, but the Hornets were eliminated from playoff contention after their loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday.
What It Means:
Batum hit 11-of-23 from the field and 5-of-7 from the line with eight rebounds, three assists and four triples in 41 minutes. The Hornets have nothing to play for expect lottery balls in the final two games of the season -- a back-to-back set on the road -- so they may take it easy on guys like Batum and point guard Kemba Walker.
Batum turned in -1.76 nERD in a losing effort in this game, per numberFire Live.
