Charlotte's win over the Lakers ‘felt like the Hornets of old,’ sportswriter says

The Charlotte Hornets beat the Lakers on Friday and set a franchise scoring record on national TV. But they couldn’t follow through against the Clippers on Sunday.

That franchise record-breaker happened earlier in the week, on Wednesday, with a 158-126 win over the Pacers.

“It was amazing,” The Charlotte Observer’s Langston Wertz Jr. told WFAE’s Gwendolyn Glenn on this week’s installment of Time Out for Sports. “... It was a wild second half. That sounds like a full college game. Miles Bridges had 22 points in 28 minutes. LaMelo (Ball) had 29, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, a good old triple-double in 38 minutes.
