A 16-point fourth-quarter explosion by Jannero Pargo nearly led the Hornets to an improbable comeback from 17 down in the Hornets' 91-82 Game 7 loss to San Antonio. He scored all ten points in a 10-2 Hornets run that got them within three, and then just missed on a 3-point attempt that could have tied it.
While Pargo's play energized a moribund offense, it was also notable for its rarity in this series. The fact the Hornets finally got some production from the second unit underscored a nagging question -- namely, where the heck had the bench been all this time?
Even on this night, the Hornets got shockingly little from the subs. While Pargo snapped out of a series-long shooting slump with his late burst, only two other Hornets got off the pine, and they combined for just one point. Overall, the bench was 6-for-19 from the floor with just one assist.
