Monk scores 26, Hornets rout Magic 137-100
Credit: The Associated PressORLANDO, Fla. — Rookie Malik Monk had the best night of his young career and it didn't matter to him that it came against a Magic team that featured almost as many G League players as NBA regulars.
Monk scored a season-high 26 points, Frank Kaminsky added 21 and the Charlotte Hornets routed outmanned Orlando 137-100 on Friday night.
Monk, the Hornets' backup point guard, also tied his career high with eight assists against a makeshift Magic team that gave prominent roles in the game to four call-ups from its G League team.
"I'm going out there to play like I don't have a spot every time I step on the court," Monk said.
