Coach Brian Keefe's Washington Wizards headed to Charlotte to tangle with Brandon Miller and the Hornets on a night when Miller lit them up in the first half, putting him in Stephen Curry territory. Exciting rookie AJ Dybantsa's injury situation came into focus before the game, while veterans Anthony Davis and Trae Young starred for Keefe's team.
Young has been a willing passer for the Wizards so far, and it's beginning to pay off. He found a streaking Davis at a nearly impossible angle on a backwards lob that led to a huge slam dunk, quieting the crowd in Charlotte.

The Hornets held onto a slim lead toward the end of the game as Miller led all scorers with 31 points at just above the eight minute mark in the fourth quarter. Young and Davis looked like a formidable duo, but needed more to get over the hump against Charles Lee's team.
