After the first quarter of Monday night’s Hornets-Spurs game in Charlotte, San Antonio led 28-7. Yep, the Hornets scored just SEVEN points, the lowest scoring total by an NBA team in the first quarter this season.
The Hornets’ 7 points in the 1st quarter are the fewest of any team in a 1st quarter this season.

And (because it’s March and crazy hoops things are happening), the Hornets stunningly came back to win the game, 91-88.

Leading the Charlotte comeback was point guard Jeremy Lin, who scored 29 points, and hit this stepback jumper in the final minute that would serve as the game-winner:

Lin also got the ice water bath treatment from teammate Nic Batum during the interview:
The Hornets are one of the NBA’s hottest teams right now, with wins in 16 of their last 20 games.
