LaMelo Ball had 34 points and 13 assists while Miles Bridges had 33 points and 11 rebounds to lead a fourth quarter comeback in the Charlotte Hornets win over the Washington Wizards, 117-114.
Summary
The Hornets got off to a sluggish start. They let the Wizards jump out to an early lead as the offense looked disconnected and lacking purpose. It was not unlike earlier meetings with the Wizards where the Hornets made them look wholly competent, especially defensively. The Hornets only mustered 21 first quarter points and went into the second down by three.
LaMelo Ball made a pair of threes early in the second quarter and JT Thor and Bryce McGowens each chipped in one of their own to help the Hornets to a modest lead.
