IT WAS OVER WHEN
Marvin Williams drilled Charlotte’s eighth 3-pointer in the third quarter to give the Hornets a four-point lead with 8.7 seconds remaining. After trailing by eight points after three quarters, the Hornets exploded for a 44-point fourth quarter as they picked up a 110-106 victory and snapped Toronto’s six-game winning streak.
