Hornets' Miles Bridges: Serviceable performance in return

Bridges (knee) ended Friday's 109-95 loss to the Bulls with 14 points (5-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block in 25 minutes.

Bridges was eased back into action Friday after missing the Hornets' previous 10 games with a right knee bone bruise. Though he took back his spot in the starting five and nearly came through with a double-double, His shooting left a lot to be desired. Look for Bridges to see at least a slight uptick in playing time in the Hornets' next game Monday versus the 76ers.
