Terry Rozier scored a season-high 37 points and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:38 remaining in the fourth quarter to lift the visiting Charlotte Hornets to a 129-128 victory over the Brooklyn Nets Thursday night.

Missing LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller due to sprained ankles, the Hornets had their highest point total this season and hit a season-high 21 3s.

Rozier hit seven of those 3s, including two clutch triples in the final three-plus minutes.

The Nets held a 120-117 lead when Mikal Bridges made an uncontested layup with 3:52 left.
