Charlotte has been without centers Mark Williams and Nick Richards for the last 14 games, but Richards was finally able to return giving the Hornets some help on the glass. Richards didn't start, but scored 12 points and had five rebounds before fouling out with a minute to play.
Hornets: Charlotte is going to be hard pressed for scoring with LaMelo Ball out for at least two weeks with a calf injury.
