Charlotte Hornets

SALT LAKE CITY, UT - The Hornets may never lose another game! Okay, maybe that's a bit much, but hey, this new-look squad is a fun bunch to watch. Thursday night, the Hornets extended their winning streak to four taking down the Utah Jazz 115-107. The win is also Charlotte's first in Utah since 2006.

Charlotte led most of the way and even got out to a nine-point stiff arm, but Utah went on a 9-0 run toward the end of the third to go up for the final three minutes. The Hornets cooled off considerably but it was the defensive end that proved to be the main issue, giving up 38 in the frame.

A 17-4 run over the course of the first seven minutes of the fourth helped Charlotte regain the lead and they never looked back. They were able to string together several stops on the defensive end while Miles Bridges and Grant Williams knocked down big shot after big shot to create some separation.

Best of the Night: Miles Bridges & Grant Williams

Too difficult to pick between the two, so we'll spread the love around to both Miles Bridges and Grant Williams. It took a little while for Miles to find his shot, but he contributed in all aspects of the game, ending the game with 26 points, 13 rebounds, and four assists - a well-rounded performance. Williams, on the other hand, had the touch from the opening tip pouring in six threes on the night.

Worst of the Night: Utah from three

Typically I keep each of these categories Hornets-related, but to be honest, there wasn't a single poor area of their performance tonight. Meanwhile, Utah just could not hit a triple to save their life. They finished the night 9/37 from beyond the arc.

Highlight of the Night:

Next up: Hornets at Warriors, Friday at 10 p.m. EST.
