The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 115-114, at State Farm Arena on Wednesday.

Atlanta looked good early on and raced to a 35-30 score in the opening quarter. The Hawks would bolster their advantage even further following a 26-25 score just before the break, making it a six-point game at the break.
