Marvin Williams scores 30, Hornets edge Wizards
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Marvin Williams has spent the last couple of weeks encouraging his teammates not to give up, reminding them the playoffs are still a possibility despite a recent slump.
On Friday night, Williams backed up his words with his best game of the season.
The 32-year-old Williams poured in seven 3-pointers and finished with a season-high 30 points, helping the Hornets snap a five-game home losing streak with a 112-111 win over the Washington Wizards. It was three shy of his career high, set in 2008.
Williams was 7 of 10 from beyond the arc and had seven rebounds as the Hornets got a much needed win to remain in the hunt for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
