The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Orlando Magic 120-111. Miles Bridges continued his early season onslaught, finishing with 31 points. Gordon Hayward also chipped in with 24 points while shooting an efficient 9/13 from the field and closed out the game down the stretch of the fourth quarter.
With those two combining for nearly 60 points, many would have thought this game was a blowout. However, the Hornets got off to a really sluggish start, but the bench picked up the slack. They scored 21 bench points in the first quarter alone. Charlotte definitely needed that extra help all throughout the game as well.
