The Charlotte Hornets put forth a disappointing effort Friday night, falling short to the Washington Wizards 95-79. The Hornets struggled to put the ball through the hoop, scoring just 13 points in the third quarter and shooting 30% from the field throughout the contest. Of all 13 players to appear in the contest for Charlotte, only two finished with a field goal percentage of 50% or better, those being Tidjane Salaun (2-for-2) and Ryan Kalkbrenner (1-for-1), who combined for six points.

Brandon Miller led the team in scoring, as he's done all year, finishing with 19 points. Moussa Diabate and Naz Reid added double-doubles as well. For the Wizards, four players finished in double figures, including Anthony Davis, who finished with a game-high 25 points. Trae Young (21), AJ Dybantsa (17) and Kyshawn George (12) all scored double digits as well.
