Miles Bridges scores 24, Hornets beat Nets to snap 6-game losing streak

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Miles Bridges had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Brandon Miller added 23 points and the Charlotte Hornets delivered another blow to the Brooklyn Nets' sagging playoff hopes with a 110-99 win on Saturday night.

Nick Richards added 15 points and 11 rebounds and Vasa Micic chipped in with 12 points and 10 assists for the Hornets (16-48), who snapped a six-game losing streak.

"We came out with real good energy tonight," Richards said.

Cam Thomas returned from a six-game absence due to an ankle injury and scored 31 points in 30 minutes while playing under a minutes restriction, but the Nets (25-39) still fell 4 1/2 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the 10th and final play-in spot in the Eastern Conference with their third loss in four games.
