WASHINGTON (AP) -- Coming off the worst game of his career, Michael Jordan felt he needed to make a statement. Boy, did he ever.
Michael Jordan hit 21 of 38 FG tries and nine of 10 free throws.
Embarrassing every defender who tried to guard him, Jordan scored 51 points and set franchise records for points in the first quarter (24) and points in a half (34 in the first) Saturday night as the Wizards snapped a two-game losing streak with a 107-90 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
Jordan scored a career-low six points in Thursday's loss to the Pacers, ending his record 866-game streak of 10 points or more. He needed only 4:25 to start another double-digit streak, making five of his first six shots and scoring the Wizards' first 13 points.
This was his 38th 50+ point game. AND he didn't even play the last 4 minutes of the game!
Damn!
