Field Level Media

Terry Rozier had 29 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 19, as the visiting Charlotte Hornets defeated the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers 119-98 on Wednesday night.

The Cavs, who have lost five of their last six games, were led by Darius Garland's season-high 33 points. He had missed the previous three games with lower back soreness.

Jarrett Allen added 18 points and 11 rebounds and Lauri Markkanen had 12 points, as just three Cavs players scored in double figures.

Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff wasn't around to witness the entire blowout. He was ejected for the first time in his NBA career with 8:36 left in the third quarter.
