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.

Memphis (28-15) has its own dynamic point guard in Ja Morant and a group of co-stars including Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. Bane has scored 20 or more points in five straight games, and Jackson led the Grizzlies with 24 points and 11 rebounds in Monday's win against the Timberwolves.
