Charlotte Hornets 101 Washington Wizards 87: notes and observations

Wednesday night's 101-87 win over the Washington Wizards was the Charlotte Hornets seventh home victory in a row. My full recap of the game can be found here, but a few other things stood out as well.

The Hornets overcame another poor 3rd quarter

Monday, the Hornets found themselves trailing by 22 after a tightly contested game in the first half. Wednesday's game followed a similar path, only this time the Hornets managed to keep the game within reach. Still, the poor 3rd quarter was concerning, once again. I understand that teams go through lapses of play each game, but giving up a 13-0 run in close game can often make the difference.
