ANNOUNCEMENT: LaMelo Ball Has Announce His Resignation and Departure From Hornets Today
The NBA has plenty of games for fans to enjoy today (Feb. 23), including a Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Hornets matchup.
The game features two teams hoping to perform better during the second half of the season.
The Warriors have won eight of their last 10 games, including a 128-110 victory against the LeBron-less LA Lakers on Thursday in what was both teams’ first game back after the All-Star break.
Steph Curry led all scorers with 32 points on 50% shooting from the field (12-for-24).
He also dished eight assists and grabbed three steals.
Four other players scored in double-figures for Golden State, namely Andrew Wiggins (20), Trayce Jackson-Davis (17), Jonathan Kuminga (12) and Brandin Podziemski (10).
This was a much-needed win for the Warriors against the team that is directly above them in the standings.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have made an unlikely surge, winning four straight games to partially recover from a 10-game skid. Despite missing LaMelo Ball due to an injury, they won their Feb. 22 game against the Utah Jazz 115-107.
Miles Bridges and Grant Williams led the charge, scoring 26 and 24 points respectively. Bridges also netted a double-double, grabbing 14 rebounds on the way to the victory.
With their most recent win, the Hornets now have 14 games in their win column, but they are far from being considered a playoff or even a Play-in team as they have 41 losses and are 13th in the East.
