Terry Rozier scored 29 points and Devonte’ Graham scored 22, but the Charlotte Hornets couldn’t maintain their high level play for a full four quarters as the lost to the Utah Jazz, 114-107.
In a twist no one saw coming, both teams put on an offensive clinic in the first half. Nicolas Batum got the start in place of Cody Zeller, and it worked to perfection. Devonte’ Graham broke out of his shooting slump with three triples and 12 points in the first quarter. Cody Martin hit a triple of his own, a sign of things to come.
