The Washington Wizards lost to the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday afternoon, 119-97. After a bad Friday loss, this game just didn’t seem much better.
The first quarter started with a determined Bradley Beal, looking to get into rhythm after a dismal game against the Heat the other day. And he scored two shots for 5 quick points to begin the ball game, first from the right baseline, then from the left corner. The Hornets then had Cody Zeller step up and score 9 straight points, including his first three of the season as Alex Len left him completely open on the top of the key.
