While it’s probably not a sustainable formula for success, the Charlotte Hornets followed up Monday’s 18-point comeback win over Boston by erasing a 19-point deficit to beat the Washington Wizards, 117-114, on Wednesday night at Spectrum Center.
LaMelo Ball continued his torrid run, racking up a game-high 34 points – 12 in the fourth quarter – eight rebounds and 13 assists – seven in the fourth – in just under 40 minutes of action. Running mate Miles Bridges totaled a season-high 33 points on 11-of-19 shooting and 11 rebounds, joining Ball as the only two Charlotte teammates to ever both record 30-point double-doubles in the same game.
