Having taking control in the second quarter of Sunday night’s home game against New Orleans, the Hornets slowly saw their double-digit lead slip away in the second half in what eventually turned into a narrow 112-110 loss. Charlotte scored just 14 points in the fourth quarter and struggled to solve the Pelicans defense over the final few minutes. Terry Rozier scored a career-high 43 points and along with LaMelo Ball (22), Cody Zeller (17) and PJ Washington (14), the foursome accounted for 87% of the team’s offensive output. Charlotte will need a bit more of a balanced scoring distribution tonight against the West’s fourth-best team.
