The Charlotte Hornets came into Monday night’s game playing their second game of a back-to-back and looking to extend their winning streak to two games as they hosted the Houston Rockets. The Hornets came out on top, defeating the Rockets 119-94.

The Hornets started the game off on a really good note firing on all cylinders. The team had good chemistry from the beginning, and once again, LaMelo Ball proved how valuable he is to the organization.
