Hezonja was aggressive right from the start. He collected a rebound and attempted to drive to the basket, as he took too many steps and was called for a traveling violation. Hezonja, since that point, did well on defense as he denied Michael Kidd-Gilchrist the ball. But he often struggled boxing out, and committed three quick fouls.

Hezonja moved without the ball well, as he drilled a 3-pointer the next possession, cutting the Hornets’ lead to 24. He had a contested 22-foot jumper in the next possession that he knocked down as well as a long 3-pointer the next possession. He then he drove the ball to the hoop a couple times and finished well against the Charlotte big men.

He was great in the open floor as he made a couple good passes in transition. Hezonja had a great game on both ends of the floor, the only red flag being his rebounding positioning, as Hezonja finished with 10 points in 12 minutes.
