Atlanta Hawks rookie Tyler Dorsey shot 3-of-6 from the 3-point line Thursday in the Hawks’ 129-117 loss to the Charlotte Hornets.

Dorsey, who recorded his fourth career start Thursday, shot 4-of-9 from the field for 11 points and recorded three rebounds, four assists and one steal.

The former Oregon Duck recorded his first points of the game off an assist by Dennis Schroder with 9:45 remaining in the first quarter.
