The Washington Wizards scored a signature win over the Charlotte Hornets Thursday in a 123-114 contest that had Capital One Arena rocking with several highlight plays.
In the battle between two East bottom dwellers, the Wizards got the exact kind of performances they needed from key players to pick up a W. There was a lot to love about the victory, from a Wiz fan’s perspective.
The game stayed close throughout the first three quarters, with neither team having a lead of more than seven points. With Charlotte building some momentum late in the third, Corey Kispert went on a personal 8-0 run to end the quarter and give Washington an 87-86 lead heading into the fourth.
