Devonte Graham was Charlotte’s best player once again, as he finished with 33 points (made 10 of 16 shots from three-point range), nine assists, seven rebounds and two steals. Terry Rozier had a strong performance as well since he had 25 points, seven boards and seven dimes. Miles Bridges had 10 points.
