The Charlotte Hornets' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Washington Wizards at 7:00 p.m. ET on November 22nd at Spectrum Center. Coming in fresh off a win as the underdog, the Hornets will stroll into this one as the favorite.
Even though the Hornets have not done well against the Celtics recently (they were 2-8 in their previous ten matchups), they didn't let the past get in their way on Monday. Charlotte sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 121-118 win over Boston. The victory was all the more spectacular given the Hornets were down 18 points with 6:18 left in the second quarter.
The Hornets got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was LaMelo Ball out in front who scored 36 points along with 9 rebounds and 8 assists. The game was Ball's third in a row with at least 30 points. Mark Williams was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 18 points and 16 rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Wizards' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Monday after their sixth straight loss. They took a 142-129 hit to the loss column at the hands of Milwaukee. The Wizards have not had much luck with the Bucks recently, as the team's come up short the last three times they've met.
Despite the loss, the Wizards got a solid performance out of Kyle Kuzma, who dropped a double-double on 22 points and 13 assists.
The Wizards struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only five offensive rebounds. The Wizards are winless (0-3) when they can't control their own glass like that.
New York's victory bumped their season record to 8-5 while Charlotte's defeat dropped theirs to 3-9.
Wednesday's contest is shaping up to be a scrappy match: The Hornets have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 45.4 rebounds per game. It's a different story for the Wizards , though, as they've been averaging only 37.9 per game.
