Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier scored 24 apiece, but it wasn’t enough as the Charlotte Hornets stumbled through the middle phases en route to a loss to the Orlando Magic.
The starters came out and played fine, which is a huge step up from how poorly they’ve played to start most recent games. The same bench group of LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges, and Cody Zeller that provided so much energy for the Hornets last night did the same tonight. They took a three point lead and blew it up as large as 15 in about five minutes of time.
