Mason Plumlee Grabs Double-Double in Win

Plumlee's Performance Leads Hornets to Victory

Mason Plumlee put up a dominant performance on Wednesday night, leading the Charlotte Hornets to a 117-106 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Plumlee finished the game with 18 points and 10 rebounds, marking his fourth double-double of the season. He shot 9-of-14 from the field and added 3 assists and 2 blocks to his stat line.

Plumlee's Impact on the Game

Plumlee's presence was felt throughout the game, as he made a significant impact on both ends of the court.

• Offensively: Plumlee provided a reliable target in the paint, scoring efficiently and creating opportunities for his teammates.
• Defensively: Plumlee's size and athleticism allowed him to protect the rim, deterring shots and altering the Clippers' offensive approach.

Plumlee's performance was particularly crucial in the fourth quarter, when the Hornets pulled away from the Clippers to secure the win.

Hornets' Improved Play

Plumlee's double-double was just one part of a strong team effort from the Hornets.

• Balanced Scoring: Five Hornets players scored in double figures, demonstrating the team's depth and offensive firepower.
• Defensive Intensity: The Hornets held the Clippers to just 42.7% shooting from the field, showcasing their improved defensive capabilities.

With Plumlee leading the way, the Hornets snapped a two-game losing streak and moved to 13-17 on the season.

Looking Ahead

The Hornets will look to continue their momentum when they face the New York Knicks on Friday night.

If Plumlee can maintain his recent form, he will be a key factor in the Hornets' quest for a playoff berth.
