The other side of Tryon was also closed down for a time this morning but has already re-opened after a semi-truck became stuck under a train bridge on North Tryon Street. The incident happened just after 6 a.m. near 16th Street and was cleared before 9 a.m. (WBTV Web Staff) 

The Charlotte Hornets won their third straight playoff game last night, taking a 3-2 series lead over the Miami Heat in the first round. Courtney Lee's three-pointer with 25 seconds left ended up being the game-winner. The Hornets have a chance of winning the series tomorrow night in Charlotte and moving on to play the winner of the Boston and Indiana series.
