Kemba Walker had 27 points and 11 assists and Nicolas Batum had 20 points to help the Charlotte Hornets overcome 46 points from Bradley Beal and beat the Washington Wizards, 123-110.
Miles Bridges got his first career start in place of Jeremy Lamb, who was moved into a sixth man role, presumably to try to jump start a bench unit that’s had its fair share of struggles lately. It looked like a failure early as the Hornets fell behind 28-16 in the first eight and a half minutes of the game.
