The Hornets swept their two-game road trip after beating the New York Knicks a couple of days ago. The Hornets also broke a spell after beating the Celtics for the first time since April 2016.</p><p>That means Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier had not snagged a win in the gym they once inhabited before coming over to the Hornets. Hayward struggled because of foul trouble and only scored five points. Rozier, on the other hand, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JdM3widVPA">balled out</a> and dropped a game-high 28 points on top of 10 assists.</p><p>After the win, Rozier reflected on his stellar performance <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hornets-forward-miles-bridges-message-to-terry-rozier-gordon-hayward-for-celtics-revenge-game/">against his former team</a>.</p><p>“It feels good. Just to beat a team like Boston, it feels good. They’re a winning program and they have a lot of great players. To come in here and get a win is making a statement. We’re trying to get to where they’re at as an organization,” said Rozier.</p><p>Rozier has a lot of respect for the Celtics, especially since he got his start there. He was drafted by Beantown in 2015 and had a lot of big-time moments for them. Getting his first win against the Celtics is like having that proverbial monkey off of his back. Even if the Celtics were already below the Hornets in the team standings prior to their meeting, there is nothing like kicking them while they’re down. The Celtics will probably be around the same seed as them towards the end of the season, so getting the win is great leverage.</p><p>Rozier hit timely shots to put the game out of reach. He hit a dagger with under a minute left after a smooth LaMelo Ball dime. LaMelo finished with a triple-double of 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists and was throwing straight heat out there to his teammates. Literally.</p><p>“When Melo got the ball you always gotta be looking. If you ain’t looking, he’ll mess around and throw it off your head. Me and him are like night and day. If ain’t him, it’s me,” said Rozier in jest.</p><p>It’s always nice to have two guys who can fill it up and set teammates up as well. Not to mention that the whole world got to see it too. The Hornets and Celtics matchup was a nationally televised game on ESPN. It’s good that more fans are able to see what the young team is capable of.</p><p>“It’s huge for the world to watch. It lets people know how serious we are and how good we wanna be,” added Rozier.</p><p>The Hornets have definitely elevated their game. They were once in the bottom tier of defensive efficiency rating, now they’re in the top 10. They are an unselfish group too, making the right basketball plays. But most importantly, they believe they can beat anybody they face. Just ask coach James Borrego.</p><p>“We believe we can beat anybody, anywhere, when we’re playing the right way, fully healthy. Depth is the strength of this team. We just gotta keep playing together and for one another and not caring who gets the points or the accolades. Just go out there and play for each other.”</p><p>The Hornets improved to 25-20 after the win over the Celtics. They play again on Friday back at home to host the Oklahoma City Thunder.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Hornets had a rough start to their first quarter, but turned things around before the quarter ended. James Borrego made some adjustments on defense and dipped into his bench a little early in the game to turn the tide before the lead became insurmountable. Borrego credited his team’s defense for the swing and the momentum it caused.</p><p>“We made some shots at the end of the first quarter, but the game turned with our defense and it carried over into the 2nd quarter. That second unit turned the game. We mixed up our coverages and played with urgency. It’s not perfect against them because Giannis is a one man wrecking crew, but our guys battled.”</p><p>Giannis Antetokounmpo did have 43 points, but the Hornets made him earn 18 of those points at the line. You hate to put a guy at the stripe all game long, but it’s a better game plan to force a 69 percent free throw shooter to beat you from the line. Plus, Giannis is just one of those guys you expect to have great games at this point.</p><p>Miles Bridges, who finished with 21 points and eight rebounds, chimed on his team’s win as well. He was “impressed” with the Hornets swarming defense.</p><p>“Their two stars (Giannis and Khris Middleton) did a good job scoring the ball, but we try to make sure the other guys didn’t affect the game.”</p><p>The Bucks two stars and Bobby Portis combined for 89 points, but the rest of the team had 12 points. The Hornets were able to get stops in the third quarter to break this game open. The fourth quarter got a little tight in the end though. The Bucks cut a huge double digit deficit down to single digits at one point. Suddenly, all the shots the Bucks were failing to convert in the third quarter, began to drop in the fourth. That’s just the top of effort you’d expect form a championship team.</p><p>Luckily for the Hornets, they have Terry Rozier on their team, who is one of the most clutch scorers in the league. Rozier finished with 28 points, including a vintage Scary Terry <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1480003624419962888">dagger to mark this game down</a> as a W for his squad.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">🎯 TERRY ROZIER SINKS THE CLUTCH TRIPLE 🎯<a href="https://twitter.com/hornets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@hornets</a> extend the lead late on NBA League Pass: <a href="https://t.co/L8Rrlv9ZoR" target="_blank">https://t.co/L8Rrlv9ZoR</a> <a href="https://t.co/NKm3DP49ZH" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/NKm3DP49ZH</a></p><p>— NBA (@NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1480003624419962888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">January 9, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Rozier had this to say about his big time shot:</p><p>“I just made a read. The whole gym was staring at Melo and I just wanted to create some confusion for the defense. I just slipped out on a pick and I was wide open. That’s something we always work on. I’m just glad I was open and able to knock down the shot.”</p><p>Rozier’s clutch gene is something that the Hornets can always seem to rely on. Fortunately, the Hornets have won two straight games and have some momentum. However, they’re going to have to replicate this kind of performance again on Monday against the Bucks again come Monday night, which won’t be easy.</p><p>Borrego summed it up the best way possible for Monday’s matchup:</p><p>“Will they handle their loss, better than we handled the win? Or will we have a maturity battle and say that we’re gonna come out swinging with something to prove on Monday vs. the NBA champions?”</p><p>The Bucks showed they know how to bounce back after capturing a title last year. Should be a fun matchup for the Hornet on Monday and a huge learning curve.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Pacers did cut the lead down to four points, but Rozier and Ball continued to make huge plays down the stretch. Those two were on fire all night long. They combined for 56 points, including 35 points from Rozier. It’s safe to say that the “slump” he was in during the first quarter of season is now gone.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">LaMelo Ball (<a href="https://twitter.com/MELOD1P?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@MELOD1P</a>) &amp; Terry Rozier (<a href="https://twitter.com/T_Rozzay3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@T_Rozzay3</a>) combined for 56 points to power the <a href="https://twitter.com/hornets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@hornets</a> to victory! <a href="https://t.co/SVvxGfprad" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/SVvxGfprad</a></p><p>— NBA (@NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1476398889959759873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">December 30, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>When asked about his confidence after the game, Scary Terry kept it as real as he could:</p><p>“I’m feeling real confident, as you can see. I’m not hesitating at all. From the beginning, all the way to the end. I could score the ball, I’ve been like that all my life. I always give credit to my coaches and teammates because they allow me to be me. I don’t want to go unnoticed,” Rozier said.</p><p>With Miles Bridges <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/charlotte-hornets/injuries" rel="noopener">out due to health and safety protocols</a>, the Hornets needed Rozier to whip back in to shape. And he showed why he was one of the hottest scorers in the league last season.</p><p>As he finds his groove back, the wins should come pouring in for the Hornets. Gordon Hayward, who finished with a solid 18 points in his hometown, knows that Rozier’s impact on this team is immense.</p><p>“He’s been huge for us, especially recently, we need him to be like that. He adds another dimension to our team, he’s a big time weapon,” Hayward explained.</p><p>Terry Rozier isn’t the only member of the backcourt who has been showing out though. LaMelo Ball had <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/scores/nba/boxscore/charlotte-hornets-indiana-pacers-12-30-2021/08553c26-8477-491a-a080-9d6d873d67cb" rel="noopener">21 points on Wednesday night</a>, along with 12 rebounds and nine assists. Ball was <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1476361700190220289" rel="noopener">finding the open man</a> all night long, but he found the hottest man when it mattered most. Rozier loves everything he’s seeing from his young point guard and he knows that their connection will be huge moving forward.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This LaMelo Ball DIME to Gordon Hayward 🤯<a href="https://t.co/c0ubiUybPk" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/c0ubiUybPk</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1476361700190220289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">December 30, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>“It’s gonna be huge. I think it starts how well we get along off the court and when we’re on the court, it’s just like night and day. We go out there play off one another and have fun. He’s a helluva player to play next to. I enjoy it every night and continue to grow with him,” Rozier shared.</p><p>He’s on the money. Their play is huge for this team on the offensive side of the ball. However, on Wednesday night, they played their hearts on both ends–just ask head coach James Borrego.</p><p>“I love the back court play tonight. They battled on the board. For Terry and LaMelo to each have seven defensive rebounds, it speaks to their energy and effort,” Borrego noted. “We’re trying to make strides right now defensively. We’re pushing aggressively on the boards and defensive end. They’ve set the tone defensively and they’ve bought in.”</p><p>Hopefully, they can maintain that level of defensive intensity to get easier shots on the offensive end. Plus, it will probably feel more rewarding to score knowing that you just locked up the opponent on the previous possession. Either way, Ball and Rozier are a two-headed dragon for this team–meaning that a lot starts and stops with them on both ends of the floor.</p><p>The Hornets have three days off and play again in the new year against the Phoenix Suns back home in Charlotte. The Hornets lost the first matchup in Phoenix, but now they have their home crowd to help them come out of Spectrum Center with a dub. Stay tuned for more updates!</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was the Hornets’ first game back at Spectrum Center in two weeks after going 2-4 on their west coast road trip. It was a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVxT9j06oao&amp;feature=onebox">much-needed win</a> and they definitely got a boost from their home fans.</p><p>Oh yeah, Terry Rozier looked like he finally found his shooting stroke again after flaming out the Rockets with 27 points in 27 minutes. If you’ve been keeping up with the Hornets this season, you know it has been a pretty up and down year for Rozier on both sides of the ball.</p><p>Still, his teammates and coaches always have confidence that he’ll get in a groove soon. Just ask James Borrego.</p><p>“He’s finding his rhythm right now. I think this is a step forward for him. It’s great to see Terry a couple games back to back with high production, 27 points in 27 minutes, so we need that from T-Ro. It started with his defense. The way he set the tone for us defensively. Obviously he’s a big shot maker and we trust him. I believe he’ll continue down this path the rest of the season,” said Borrego.</p><p>The Hornets tactician knows <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/terry-rozier/b75009cc/stats">what Rozier is capable of</a> after having a lot of success with him last season. Hell, even the opposition knows. Rozier was one of the league’s best scorers in the clutch last season and put opponents on notice. However, no one has been harder on Rozier than himself, as he talked about his play on the defensive end.</p><p>“Honestly, my defense hasn’t been there all year, as far as effort. And I’ll be the first one to say you gotta look yourself in the mirror. My coaches have challenged me, saying I gotta pick it up. So that’s been an emphasis for me. I know my offense will be fine. I’m just trying to control what I can on the defensive end,” admitted Rozier.</p><p>Rozier also gave an honest assessment of his offensive struggles this season.</p><p>“Eighty percent of shooting is confidence. The other 20 is having the skill to make it. Everyone’s shot mechanics are different though. But if I don’t have the confidence, I might as well not even shoot it. That’s what the difference is, just my confidence. It gonna stay high. I just gotta know I’m one of the best shooters in the league. So I just gotta let it go,” said Rozier.</p><p>As long as he keeps getting up shots, Hornets fans should feel just as confident in Rozier’s ability to get a bucket. Of course, the homecourt advantage has to help.</p><p>Against the Rockets, Mason Plumlee may have benefited the most from the crowd’s energy after going a perfect 7-of-7 from the field.</p><p>“It’s great to have a home game and have support from the fans. Them coming out for this was really cool,” said Plumlee.</p><p>Not to mention that the Hornets were able to hold a team to less than 100 points. Even if it was the Rockets, it’s still tough to do in the NBA.</p><p>The Hornets have now won two straight games and have a chance to extend that against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Hopefully, Rozier and company can recreate their top-notch performance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
