Brandon Miller scored 31 points and the Charlotte Hornets rode solid fourth-quarter defense to avenge a loss from two nights earlier, defeating the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers 118-111 on Wednesday.
Tre Mann and Miles Bridges each scored 17 points and Grant Williams had 16 off the bench for the Hornets (18-54), who snapped a five-game losing streak.
But the big development down the stretch was the Cavaliers' inability to score. Cleveland managed just two points in the final 5:29.
Jarrett Allen had 24 points on 11-for-14 shooting to lead Cleveland (44-29).
