Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier showed off both his moves and his strength, showing off some fancy moves on his way to a strong contested layup.

With a little over 11 and a half minutes left to go in the second quarter, Rozier got the ball at the wing and went to work. He froze the defender with a nifty crossover, then bodied up Chris Boucher and put a high lay up in.

This would give the Hornets the lead for the time being. The Hornets are looking to get above .500 again, currently at 6-6. The Raptors are struggling this season thus far, only having won two games prior to this game, with a total record of 2-8.

After winning the NBA Championship two years ago, the Raptors struggled in the second round of the playoffs in the bubble last season, losing to the Boston Celtics.

Rozier is off to a strong start to the season, averaging 19.4 points per game, trailing only Gordon Hayward for the team lead.

The NBA is still early in the season due to the delayed finish to the 2019-2020 season, which ended in October due to the stoppage of play in March.

The Hornets' solid core of LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward, and Rozier will be looking to make some noise in the Eastern Conference this season. Charlotte is trailing the Raptors late in the fourth quarter.
