Howard leads Hornets past Warriors
OAKLAND, Calif. — Dwight Howard was so good Friday night against the defending NBA champs that acting Charlotte Hornets coach Stephen Silas rode him to the finish line of a 111-100 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
"He was great," Silas said after Howard scored a season-high 29 points. "I couldn't take him out in the second half."
The Hornets won just their third road game of the season.
"They've had a tough go this year," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "They came in and earned it. They took it to us."
Charlotte, beginning a four-game road trip, arrived with a 2-12 record away from home.
