Josh Green made the shot the Hornets needed him to make, but at what cost?
The Hornets had a chance to beat the Knicks in the final seconds of the game. There were just over three seconds left on the clock with the score at 97-93. Charlotte’s chances of pulling off a comeback were slim, but there was still a chance.
First things first. The Hornets needed to hit a 3-pointer to bring themselves within a point. Then, all they had to do was play the foul game.
So here we go. Josh Green takes the 3-pointer. He makes it! But, wait! Time…expires?!?

Folks, this is absolutely devastating.
Green hit the shot, but it touched every part of the rim. Time expired by the time the ball fall through the net.
Again, the Hornets already had a long shot in the attempt to pull this off. But to have things end like this? Nah. That has to hurt.
