Balanced scoring carries Magic over Hornets

Paolo Banchero led six Orlando scorers in double figures with 22 points as the visiting Magic defeated the Charlotte Hornets 101-89 on Tuesday night.

Cole Anthony had 14 points and Wendell Carter Jr. supplied 12 points and nine rebounds as the Magic rang up their fourth straight win and their seventh in the last eight games. Moritz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac each had 11 points and Anthony Black chipped in with 10.

Vasilije Micic, who has been called upon for duties at point guard, racked up a season-high 21 points in another starting role for the injury-ravaged Hornets, who are on a five-game losing streak.
