The Greenville Hornets's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Tuesday after their fourth straight loss. They were outmatched by Canton on the road and fell 71-32. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Greenville has scored all season.
Greenville's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Gymanuel Wells, who scored 13 points. Another player making a difference was Tamarion Rhodes, who scored six points along with four steals.
Greenville has traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost six of their last seven contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 6-9 record this season. As for Canton, the win was the third in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 16-2.
