Charlotte Hornets coach James Borrego showed up from the All-Star break with a lineup shakeup Friday, and it worked out fine.
He started rookie Miles Bridges in place of veteran shooting guard Jeremy Lamb and the Hornets held off the Washington Wizards 123-110 to break a two-game losing streak. Kemba Walker closed this game with a three-point play, off a scoop shot and a free throw, late. Walker had his second 20-10 game of the season, with 27 points and 11 assists.
