The Hornets, who came in with the worst-rated offense in the league, put up 74 points in the first half and hold off Washington's comeback, 117-116.
But the Hornets entered Friday’s game with just six wins in 21 games and had the worst-rated offense in the NBA. They were missing Gordon Hayward and remain without LaMelo Ball , meaning P.J. Washington, Kelly Oubre Jr., Mason Plumlee and Terry Rozier were the Wizards’ conquerors.
He had powered the comeback with 11 points in the fourth quarter, but it was the two turnovers Beal committed with less than 1:29 to play that allowed the Hornets to hold on. All told, the Wizards had 14 giveaways to just four for the hosts.The Wizards’ final offensive trip summed up the entire contest.
Nobody looked good, but of Washington’s primary scorers, Porzingis struggled most. He ended the half with six points, two rebounds, two assists and three turnovers, and he struggled to affect anything on the defensive end. Charlotte players met little resistance slicing through the lane or backing into spots under the basket — the Hornets had 38 points in the paint in the first half.
