Hornets Post Dominant Victory to Open Back-to-Back Set
After falling behind 7-0 and then leading by just three at the end of the first, the Hornets quickly took complete control in their Sunday home matinee victory against Washington, winning the final three quarters by a margin of 85-66. Charlotte held the visiting Wizards to just 38% shooting on the day, while itself connecting on 15-of-36 three-point attempts (42%) and scoring 19 second-chance points. The team has endured a brutal stretch of games lately in terms of opponent quality, but took care of business in impressive fashion following consecutive losses against the NBA’s two conference leaders.
