The Charlotte Hornets ( 8 - 19 ) defeated the Utah Jazz ( 8 - 20 ) 104 - 86 on Saturday . Charlotte has won two straight , overcoming the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday and now the Jazz on the second night of a back - to - back set . While some will point to Lance Stephenson 's ( groin ) absence in the games and argue that the Hornets play better without him , the level of the Hornets ' opponent can not be overlooked . The Sixers and Jazz are young teams . With or without Stephenson , the Hornets should have had this weekend 's games circled as projected wins . Kemba Walker scored a game - high 20 points Saturday , and Al Jefferson pitched in a double - double of 19 points and 10 rebounds . However , near the end of the game , Jefferson suffered a mild groin strain , leaving him somewhat questionable going into the Hornets ' next game Monday when they host the Denver Nuggets . Utah could n't get their shots to fall , converting just 39 percent of their field goal attempts and 26 percent of their shots from beyond the arc . With the game turning into a blowout , the Jazz opted to spread the minutes out more amongst the bench players . Rudy Gobert finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds in 30 minutes off the bench . Saturday 's loss broke the first two - game win streak the Jazz have been able to put together this season . They 'll have another tough game Monday when they finish up their six - game road trip in Memphis against the Grizzlies .
