NBA: Hornets get much-needed win, defeat Cavaliers

Miles Bridges scored 25 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and made key plays on offense down the stretch as the Charlotte Hornets topped the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers 108-102 for a much-needed victory Friday night.

P.J. Washington and Terry Rozier also each supplied 25 points for the Hornets (29-30), who won for just the second time in their last seven games.

It was a damaging defeat for the Cavaliers (21-38), who won the two previous meetings with Charlotte this season.
