79 points at the half?  Damn I better watch some of this game.

What a perfect time for a bounce back opponent like the Pistons. Like what I'm seeing from everyone and Harrell is an infusion of energy we needed. Also kudos to Bouknight for the basket to end the half and make a new record for the franchise. Can't believe some fools wanted to use him as trade bait.

So originally I was all for replacing Ish Smith but I like the fact that it means Rozier and Ball get more minutes and it opens up minutes for Bouknight.

In other games…

The new look Pacers are balling. Haliburton and Hield have combined for 30.

Where has this been the last 2-3 weeks? The bugs are playing with a lot of energy and are hitting shots.

[MillionDollarCam]

Harrell with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block… stuffing the stat sheet.

[jayboogieman]

JB should put in the other rookies and Richards. This one is all but over.

[MillionDollarCam]

Got a game tomorrow against a tough Grizzlies team, time to get the guys out.

[jayboogieman]

PJ is the shortest Hornet in the game to finish this one.

[jayboogieman]

Much needed win and it was a good one too.

Seems like Trez here/Ish gone opens things up for a better rotation that'll also keep the young guys happy. I didn't catch the game, just highlights but for coming in cold the chemistry w Trez looked good. Just get some timing things down and they might make the legit playoffs (Not just the play-in)

will the bugs keep buzzin tonight?

injury report:
CHA: Gordon Hayward: out (ankle), Cody Martin: out (left ankle/Achilles soreness), Jalen McDaniels: out (left ankle sprain).

MEM: Santi Aldama: questionable (right foot soreness), Dillon Brooks: out (left ankle sprain), Yves Pons: out (left thigh soreness), Killian Tillie: out (back soreness), Xavier Tillman: out (right thigh soreness).

 

The Charlotte Hornets ended a six-game losing streak last night in Detroit, and tonight they have a chance to end a five-game skid at the Spectrum Center against the Memphis Grizzlies.

All-Star point guards LaMelo Ball and Ja Morant square off for the second time this season, with the Hornets taking a 118-108 win on Nov. 11. Memphis comes into this one winners of four-straight, averaging a league-leading 130.5 points, 57 rebounds and 30.3 assists per game in that stretch. They’re also second in offense and sixth in defense. The Grizzlies have the third-best winning percentage on the season, but they’ve been especially good in the last few weeks.

Steven Adams is scoring the fewest points per game (6.8) since his rookie year, but he’s still Steven Adams. His 9.6 rebounds lead the Grizzlies and a rebounding percentage of 19.3 ranks sixth in the NBA among qualified players. A few days ago, this was a much worse matchup for the Hornets. The addition of Montrezl Harrell shores up some of Charlotte’s interior finishing and rebounding deficiencies, and he’s made an immediate impact.

It really seems like Harrell injected the locker room with a burst of energy upon his arrival; former Louisville Cardinals teammate Terry Rozier did promptly record his first triple-double as a Hornet in Harrell’s first game.
