Terry Rozier scored 10 of the last 12 points for the Charlotte Hornets as they end their two-game losing skid with a 129-128 win over the Brooklyn Nets Thursday night.
The ten points came in the final 3:34 of the game, as the Hornets hit a season high for points, and Rozier hit his personal season high with 37 points and a career-high 13 assists.
Both teams shot the ball exceptionally well, with the Hornets hitting their high-water mark for three-pointers this season with 21 makes on 58.3% shooting (21-of-36). Charlotte overcame another evening overmatched on the offensive glass, with Brooklyn converting 31 second-chance points on 22 offensive rebounds.
Rozier received support with a bounce back game from Gordon Hayward who had 22 points, and Miles Bridges who opened the fourth quarter with a massive alley-oop slam and a 23-point evening.
