CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Keon Johnson led a balanced Brooklyn attack with 18 points, and the Nets snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 104-83 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. Jalen Wilson added 15 points and Tosan Evbuomwan had 14 for the Nets, who never trailed.

With the win, the Knicks (32-16) have won five in a row and secured their second sweep of the Nuggets in the last three seasons. Though the Knicks did not reach their massive tally of 143 that appeared in their column in each of the last two games, the 408 points that have combined to earn are the most they've had in any trio in franchise history.
