What once looked like possibly the first blowout win for the Charlotte Hornets this season quickly started spiraling towards disaster halfway through the fourth quarter. Fortunately, the hosts righted themselves just in the nick of time, then held on for a 119-116 home victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday night at Spectrum Center.
Gordon Hayward (24), Miles Bridges (22), Terry Rozier (21) and Brandon Miller (20) all notched 20-point performances, becoming the first Hornet quartet to all score 20-or-more points in the same game since Feb. 13, 2023, per Stathead. Rozier also dished out a career-high-tying 13 assists for the second time in four outings, good for his second double-double of the year.
