After 14 seasons in the NBA, Charlotte Hornets power forward Marvin Williams still has the ability to take over a basketball game. That’s exactly what he did on Friday night in front of 16,000 fans at the Spectrum Center.
For the second time in just over a week, Williams and the Hornets handed the Detroit Pistons a loss. The first game — a hard-fought 108-107 Charlotte victory — Williams scored nine points on 3-of-8 shooting, scoring all of his points from behind the three-point line. Despite his lack of scoring that night, he played an important role in the Hornets’ victory, grabbing 10 rebounds, one assists, one steal, one block and zero turnovers in a game-high 38 minutes.
