CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dwight Howard said he was tired. He called his legs "noodly" and "wobbly."
"My legs and mind wasn't on the same page," the Charlotte center explained. "Next time, I've got to make sure they're on the same page so I can get more rebounds for the team and we can get a good win."
Even with his exhaustion, Howard dominated the interior Thursday night, grabbing a season-high 24 rebounds while adding 15 points as his Hornets topped the Brooklyn Nets 111-96.
Kemba Walker led Charlotte with 31 points on 12-of-22 shooting as the Hornets improved to 25-33 with their second straight win.
