Poole’s 3-pointer with 8.1 seconds left lifts Wizards to a 113-110 win over Hornets

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Jordan Poole’s 3-pointer with 8.1 seconds remaining lifted the Washington Wizards to a 113-110 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night. Green missed both free throws, and a tip-in by Wizards rookie Alex Sarr put Washington up 109-108 with 14.8 seconds remaining. Charlotte took the lead back when Mark Williams dunked home an alley-oop pass from LaMelo Ball with 12.3 seconds to play, but after a Washington timeout, Poole made a step-back 3 from near the top of the key. Takeaways Hornets: Charlotte got Miller back from a sprained ankle and rallied gamely after falling behind 68-47, but the missed free throws by Green proved costly.
