The Charlotte Hornets will welcome the San Antonio Spurs to Spectrum Center for an NBA game on Wednesday. The Hornets won 144-138 in their last game over the Hawks. LaMelo Ball had 30 points and 15 assists, Terry Rozier added 29 points and the Charlotte Hornets held off the Atlanta Hawks 144-138 on Monday night to snap a seven-game losing streak.
Gordon Hayward scored 26 points and P.J. Washington chipped in with 22 as the Hornets shot 63% from the field. Ball had six 3-pointers and Rozier hit five as Charlotte tied a season high with 20 made 3s. Rookie center Mark Williams finished with 15 points and a huge block on Trae Young’s 3-point attempt in the final minute.
Ball put on a show, finishing 12 of 19 from the field and 6 of 10 from beyond the arc. When he wasn’t scoring, he was creating off the dribble and finding open teammates. He had four turnovers, but the good far outweighed the bad. “One thing about Melo is he’s a gamer,” Rozier said. “He can be having any type of day, good or bad, but once he’s in that game he just hoops. Nothing that he does surprises me anymore. He’s a true gamer.”
The San Antonio Spurs on the other hand lost 117-109 against the Cavaliers in their last game. San Antonio’s slide equals the longest in club history. The Spurs also lost 13 straight during the 1988-89 season. Coincidentally, that streak also reached 13 with a loss at Cleveland on March 2, 1989.
“We played a hell of a team,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “They play really strong defense, which is going to suit them well in the playoffs. There is no magic (solution) out there. We played the right way for three quarters. I’m really proud of our guys.” Voted an Eastern Conference starter for this week’s All-Star Game in Salt Lake City, where he spent five seasons with the Jazz, Mitchell, who sat out last year’s event in Cleveland due to an illness, finished 16 of 26 from the field.
