Hornets star guard LaMelo Ball was ruled out for the team‘s game against the Warriors on Tuesday due to injury.
Stephen Curry and Draymond Green scored 15 points each and the Golden State Warriors joined an elite group with their 3,000th franchise victory, 128-92 over the Charlotte Hornets.
The 14-win Hornets had neither their two best players, LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, nor rotation mainstays Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun, Tre Mann, and Josh Okogie. They were on the second night of a back-to-back, serving a win on a platter for the Warriors.
Prior to opening a five-game road swing, the Golden State Warriors handled business at home on Tuesday night with the shorthanded Charlotte Hornets in town. With players like LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller sidelined, the Warriors powered past the Hornets on the way to a dominant 128-92 blowout win at Chase Center on Tuesday.
