HOUSTON (AP) — Terry Rozier scored 25 points, Devonte’ Graham added 21 and the Charlotte Hornets beat the Houston Rockets 122-97 on Wednesday night.
The Rockets quickly returned to the loss column after snapping a 20-game losing streak Monday night. It was the NBA's longest skid since Philadelphia’s record-setting 28-game rut across the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Charlotte won in Houston for the first time since Dec. 22, 2004, snapping a 15-game losing streak.
The Hornets were still adjusting their rotation in the second game without LaMelo Ball after the rookie suffered a fractured wrist that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the season.
