Behind 55 points from their starting backcourt of Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball, the Hornets picked up a needed victory over the Magic on Friday, 122-112.
After Charlotte led for much of the first half, Orlando swung back and built a lead that carried from late in the first quarter until early in the third period. However, once the Hornets grabbed the lead late in the third, they never looked back, pulling away in the fourth quarter for the victory.
Rozier poured in 28 points to lead all scorers while Ball added 27. P.J. Washington had 23 and Bismack Biyombo recorded a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
