The Charlotte Hornets earned their second season-series victory in the past week, as they completed a season sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies with a 110-98 victory Wednesday night in Memphis.
Vasilije Micic scored a career-high 25 points with eight assists, and Miles Bridges led all scorers with 27 points. Tre Mann returned to the lineup for Charlotte and lengthened things for a bench who outscored the opposition 30-19.
The win was a rare boon for the Hornets, who won for the second time in three contests, but had lost seven of their previous eight.
Wednesday’s win also provided one oddity, as the Hornets did not shoot a single free throw until the fourth quarter. They finished the game and the final period going 9-of-13 from the charity stripe.
Charlotte returns home to face the Phoenix Suns for their only visit to Spectrum Center Friday. Coverage begins at 6 PM with the tip at 7 PM on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
