The Warriors fought to within an inkling of a chance in the final minutes, giving faint hope to the remnants of 16,308 fans. The trio of rookie guard Stephen Curry, NBA Development League call-up Anthony Tolliver and forward Devean George combined for 21 points in the fourth quarter. After Golden State had trailed by as much as 27, Ellis went to the line inside of two minutes and the Warriors down 118-107.
But unlike Tuesday’s late rally in the loss at Sacramento, this run turned out to be a whimper of a comeback. Ellis made the first but missed the second. Tolliver got the rebound, but the ball and the Warriors’ slim chance at victory was yanked away by Hornets forward David West, who ended with 17 points and 12 rebounds.
