Hornets go on a 12-3 run to close the second and lead the Wizards 59-50 at halftime. Quite the quarter from LaMelo.
KCP: 10p
Harrell: 9p 8r
Kuzma: 7p 7r
Beal: 7p 4r 6a
Ball: 17p – 8:13 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
The Wizards trail the Hornets 59-50 at halftime. LaMelo Ball had 12 pts in the final 2:47 of the first half including a dunk on Gafford and a three from 31 ft. Wiz have 10 TOs, need to clean that up. – 8:13 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
LaMelo Ball started the game 1-6 from 3 and now drains back-to-back deep balls to give the Hornets a 59-50 lead at halftime
He had 12 of his first half 17 points in the final 3 minutes of the second quarter – 8:13 PM

Nobody should be complaining about the free throw disparity. Hornets have been undisciplined, reaching in and then on the other end struggling to score inside – 7:58 PM

Mile Bridges makes a business decision against…
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. – 7:57 PM

James Plowright @British_Buzz
Not enough creations on the floor with this backup unit, needs Melo/Miles/Hayward, offense just too hard to come by – 7:49 PM

Heat’s Bam Adebayo on the outside noise to shoot threes: ‘Just let me grow as a player’ miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… Adebayo attempted his first three of the season in Saturday’s loss to the Wizards and it was a full-court heave – 7:42 PM
Washington Wizards @WashWizards
That ball movement!
#DCAboveAll pic.twitter.com/SuLaT3lcyr – 7:41 PM

Jeff Zillgitt @JeffZillgitt
LaMelo Ball likes his shot tonight vs. the Wizards. However, the shot does not like LaMelo so far. He was 1-for-8, 0-for-4 on 3s in the first quarter. Terry Rozier, who always likes his shot, is 4-for-5, 3-for-3 on 3s. – 7:38 PM
Charlotte Hornets @hornets
A 1-point game after the first!
#AllFly pic.twitter.com/iJM2rW1Isx – 7:38 PM

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Wes Unseld Jr. has said he and the coaches would like to see Deni Avdija be more decisive on offense, and Avdija was decisive during tonight’s first quarter, not hesitating before he decides to shoot or pass. He scored his three points on a 3-pointer. – 7:37 PM
Washington Wizards @WashWizards

#DCAboveAll | @CapitalOne – 7:37 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
That was one of the Wizards’ better ball-movement quarters of the season. They lead the Hornets 27-26 at the start of the second quarter. – 7:36 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Wizards lead the Hornets 27-26 at the end of the first quarter. Rozier leads all scorers with 11 pts. Wiz are 3-11 3PT, but have 16 PITP already. – 7:36 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
After one, the Wizards lead Charlotte 27-26.
Beal, KCP: 5p

One day the Hornets will have a center who can punish a mismatch. Plumlee has also been blown past by Kuzma twice, need more from him – 7:17 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Miles Bridges straight on Beal is an interesting starting wrinkle – 7:13 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Wizards shot a terrible ball in Charlotte, don’t expect that to happen again in Washington. Defense will need to take it up a level again – 7:10 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Had a lot of life stuff going on, all good things so no issue but happy to be back being able to watch the Hornets live – 7:06 PM

Rui Hachimura did limited work at Go-Go practice today, non-contact stuff. Next step for him is 1-on-1 work, per Wes Unseld Jr. He said it’s possible Hachimura goes on their road trip, but didn’t sound likely. – 5:22 PM
Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR
Ahead of tonight’s @Charlotte Hornets game at WAS, some notes on LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges and their performances at ATL:
Ball had 15 pts, 10 rebs, 11 ast for his 3rd career triple-double to become the 2nd youngest player to reach 3 triple-doubles only behind Luka Doncic #AllFly – 5:21 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
Davis Bertans will travel with the Wizards on their upcoming 4-game road trip. As for Hachimura, “we’ll see,” Unseld said. – 5:21 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Davis Bertans is OUT tonight after being listed as questionable. He went through scrimmages at Go-Go practice today and will travel with the Wizards on their road trip. – 5:20 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Davis Bertans will not play tonight against the Hornets, Wes Unseld Jr. said. Bertans participated in contact work with the Capital City Go-Go today. – 5:20 PM
