Miles Bridges was not having fun in Atlanta on Wednesday night. The Charlotte Hornets swingman was ejected from the contest in a 132-103 drubbing.
In his frustration, the Hornets star was even seen throwing his mouthpiece at a Hawks fan as he walked off the court and into the locker room. Check out the heated moment below:

Losing a win-or-go-home game is never enjoyable. But falling to your foes in a massive blowout when you play poorly is even worse.
Bridges, who averaged 20.2 points and 7.0 rebounds per game during the regular season, had just 12 points and four rebounds on the night while missing all of his four attempts from distance. He also owned a plus/minus of -30 for the game, the worst mark among all 10 Hornets who took the court.

It was all Hawks in their 9-10 Play-In tournament showdown. Atlanta was led by Trae Young's 24 points and 11 assists but he also had plenty of support from his teammates. He was one of six Hawks scorers in double-figures, including every member of the starting lineup.
The Hornets have now been trounced in back-to-back Play-In tournament games. But with a young and improving core, maybe third time's the charm for the Hornets in the LaMelo Ball era.
