The Hornets have found a small dose of momentum as they wrap up play in December, having won four of their past seven games and two of their past three. Charlotte won back-to-back games over the Washington Wizards (126-109) and Orlando Magic (120-105) before returning home with a 123-113 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Ball and Brandon Miller combined for 57 points in that contest, but the Bucks hit 44 of 84 field goal attempts and 16 of 34 from 3-point range to pull away in the second half.
