Desmond Bane scored 24 points, Luke Kennard added 23 on a season-high seven 3-pointers and the Memphis Grizzlies built an early lead and beat the Charlotte Hornets 132-120 on Wednesday night.

The Charlotte Hornets' brief moment of brightness in an otherwise down season came to an end tonight, as their three-game winning streak was snapped by the Memphis Grizzlies in a 132-120 defeat. The winning streak had represented the team's high point of the year thus far.

Desmond Bane scored 24 points to extend his streak of 20-point games to six, leading the Memphis Grizzlies to a 132-120 wire-to-wire win over the visiting Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday.

Mark Williams scored a career high 38 points as the Charlotte Hornets couldn't overcome a poor first half in a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, 132-120.

Bane operated as the Grizzlies' primary playmaker Friday due to the absence of Ja Morant (illness), and he responded by tying his season-high mark in assists. Bane has recorded eight or more assists in five of his 10 games in January,
