Charlotte guards Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball took turns raining 3-point baskets on the host Milwaukee Bucks, and the Hornets put together a record-setting first quarter in a 138-109 romp on Friday night.
Charlotte scored 51 first-quarter points, tying the NBA record for most points in an opening quarter and setting a franchise record for any quarter. The Hornets also tied the highest single-quarter output in the league this season.
Rozier scored 39 points, bagging six treys, and Ball racked up 24 points, with seven of his eight field goals coming from 3-point range, as the Hornets won for just the second time in seven games. Ball, who finished with 12 assists, has poured in at least 20 points in 14 consecutive games.
