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.

What an embarrassment. Whether you've packed it in as an organization and are tanking down the stretch or not that is horrendous! I mean not like they were playing the mid-90's Bulls here - WOW!
