Rozier, Hayward Shine on Opening Night, But Hornets Need More Elsewhere
Terry Rozier (career-high 42 points on 10-of-16 shooting from three) and Gordon Hayward (28 points and seven assists) each recorded outstanding performances in Wednesday night’s season-opening road loss to Cleveland, but the Hornets didn’t get much else from the rest of the rotation. Balanced production was more often than not, Charlotte’s go-to recipe for success last season: “Terry and Gordon, I thought really played well tonight, but we need other guys to step up as well,” said Head Coach James Borrego after the loss to the Cavaliers.
