We’ll start things off with a win. In a nail-biter, the Charlotte Hornets beat the Sacramento Kings by 1 point on Friday. It was a needed victory for Charlotte after two losses — and the Hornets pulled it off with seven players off the court due to the NBA’s COVID-19 protocols.
“They had nine dudes — they had five starters and four on the bench,” The Charlotte Observer’s Langston Wertz Jr. told WFAE’s Gwendolyn Glenn on this week’s installment of Time Out for Sports. “(Hornets forward) Cody Martin hitched to one of the two free-throws and he fouled DeAaron Aaron Fox, who missed both, and they got a crazy win they weren’t expecting.
