The Charlotte Hornets moved one step closer to the top of the lottery odds with a loss to the Detroit Pistons, 118-112.
The Hornets got off to a sluggish start. They made just two of their first 11 shots as they dug an early double digit deficit. Terry Rozier scores three acrobatic layups in a row to help the Hornets back into the game quickly. The teams traded blows for the rest of the quarter from there. LaMelo Ball set up two dunks in the final 1:10 to help the Hornets to a one point lead after one.
