These are heady times for the Charlotte Hornets, who have won four straight games for the first time in nearly two years. The Hornets shot 48.9% from the field and won for the 20th time this season to surpass last year’s win total. Rookie Kon Knueppel had 10 points against Memphis and is averaging 18.7 points while shooting 42.1% from 3-point range. Washington led the Mavericks with 21 points, while Naji Marshall had 18 points and six rebounds and Brandon Williams scored 17 points off the bench. In situations where he’s been forced to probably score a bit more, he’s been able to measure up.”–Field Level Media
