After losing five of its last six games, Washington came back to win tonight with a 100:108 away win over weak Charlotte. Danny Avdia started again with the five and played 18 minutes, but again was not a real factor in the attack and finished this game with 3 points (1 of 4 from the field, 0 of 3 from three, 1 of 2 from the penalty) and also added 3 rebounds, 3 assists , lost and 3 fouls.
Washington was missing Bradley Beal in this game, but against weak Charlotte, Kyle Kuzma’s 20 points were enough, when the X-factor was Jordan Goodwin who contributed 17 points without hitting from the bench (7 of 7) and the Japanese Roy Hachimura was also excellent with 16 from the bench . Kristaps Porzingis contributed 19 and 8 rebounds to the winners.
Charlotte, again missing LaMelo Ball and Gordon Hayward, its star duo, still managed to put up a fight but a late 2:12 run by Washington sealed the deal. For the Hornets, PJ Washington excelled with 25 points. Kelly Oubre scored 20 and Rozier added 19, but Charlotte can’t win on a day when it’s shooting 41 percent from the field and 15 percent from beyond the arc (5-for-32). Washington will get a rest day and between Thursday and Friday they will host Luka Doncic and Dallas.
