CHARLOTTE, N.C. - It was a promising start to the night but the Charlotte Hornets were unable to come out on top as they fell to the Washington Wizards, 116-107 Monday night.
To describe the first quarter for the Charlotte Hornets as sloppy would be an understatement. They threw the ball around quite a bit in the opening frame with eight turnovers; LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, and James Bouknight all had two each. Washington's mojo early on was the three-point ball as they saw the ball go through the bottom of the net on six of their first seven attempts from deep.
