The Charlotte Hornets may be out of the playoff race back east, but they definitely mean business.
A night after Dwight Howard went for 32 points and 30 rebounds in a win over Brooklyn, Charlotte absolutely dominated the Memphis Grizzlies Thursday evening.
The final score of 140-79 represents two records. It's the largest margin of victory in Hornets franchise history. It's also the biggest loss in Grizzlies franchise history.
Kemba Walker scored 46 points on 10-of-14 shooting from distance as Charlotte opened up a 75-42 halftime lead. It then outscored the road team 37-15 in the third quarter.
It goes without saying that the social media world was abuzz with the dominating 61-point spread. Here's the best Twitter reactions from one of the most lopsided games in NBA history.
