Tar Heels in NBA: Harrison Barnes scores 28 but Hornets pull off amazing rally against Kings

Posted Mar 1, 2021
With impressive play from Harrison Barnes, the Sacramento Kings have gone from losing nine straight games to nearly winning back-to-back games. Nearly, because an amazing Charlotte comeback denied the Kings Sunday in a 127-126 Hornets victory. For the fourth time since Barnes returned from a left foot strain, he scored at least 18 points.
