P.J. Washington Shines With 31 Points
2 years agoCharlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington ended up being a surprising leading scorer for the team in Saturday's big clash with the Warriors, shooting 13-for-23 from the field and leading his side to a 120-113 overtime victory with 31 points. Nobody scored more in the game, with Stephen Curry also settling for 31 points. Washington added seven rebounds to his tally with one assist and one steal, while committing only one turnover in 40 minutes of action. The Kentucky product had scored just 61 points across his first five outings of the season, which tells you all about his typical production, although he has got great range for a big man and can certainly rack up the points in a hurry if he gets hot, as proven on Saturday. Washington should be set for another good outing Monday against the Kings if he doesn't cool off. Sacramento is among the paciest teams in the league but also struggles on the defensive end.
