Terry Rozier, who scored 18 points, hit a pair of 3-pointers early in a 14-0 run to start the second half, giving the Hornets a 25-point lead coming off their first win -- over Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets -- after an 0-2 start.
``For us it's just about building and growing,'' Charlotte coach James Borrego said. ``We didn't have the best training camp. There's a lot of factors there, but I believe now we have found our footing.'' Ball, the third overall pick in the draft, finished 7 of 10 from the field, including 4 of 5 from deep and made all four free throws to easily beat the high from his first three games of 13 points. The 19-year-old had eight rebounds and five assists.
