CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ The Charlotte Hornets found a team that much more flawed than themselves. The losing streak is over.
The Hornets held the New York Knicks to 42 second-half points for a 97-92 victory at Spectrum Center on Tuesday. That ended an eight-game losing streak that started after the Hornets' best victory of the season _ beating the Mavericks in Dallas on Jan. 4.
Terry Rozier finished with 30 points and 10 rebounds for the Hornets. The Knicks got 24 points from Julius Randle and 23 from Marcus Morris.
Hornets coach James Borrego guessed right on a challenge of a foul against Devonte Graham in the fourth quarter. Replay not only reversed the call against Graham (a shooting foul on a made 3-pointer), but Morris was charged with an offensive foul.
The Hornets improved to 16-31. The Knicks fell to 13-35.
