The Charlotte Hornets ( 5 - 5 ) took care of the Portland Trail Blazers ( 4 - 7 ) 106 - 94 on Sunday . In a game that was seemingly over at halftime , the Trail Blazers gave the Hornets a late scare . Charlotte outscored Portland by 14 points in the final two quarters and even got the deficit down to six points with three minutes left before the Hornets pulled away late . The difference in this matchup was as simple as shooting , as the Blazers shot just 39 percent , while the Hornets shot just shy of 50 percent . The three - point shooting was bad all - around though , as the teams combined to shoot 14 - for - 52 from long distance . These are teams going in opposite directions right now and this result exemplifies that fact . After a promising start to the season , the Blazers have now lost five - straight games . The losses can be attributed to the poor defense , as Portland have allowed at least 100 points in all five losses . They simply have to rely far too much on their guards to carry the offense and while they can score with anyone , they need some help . Damian Lillard had another good game here , as he tallied 23 points , eight rebounds and five assists in the defeat . C.J . McCollum struggled a bit with his shot , but still totaled 16 points on 5 - of - 18 shooing in the loss . This is a fun and exciting team to watch with their guard - play , but it 's not a recipe for victories with minimal quality post play . Portland will have a quick turnaround as they play the San Antonio Spurs on Monday in the second half of a back - to - back . The Hornets started off the season 0 - 3 , but appear to be a far better team than that by winning five of their last seven since . The recent success correlates with Nicolas Batum 's recent scoring surge , as he is averaging nearly 30 points a game over his last three games . On Sunday , he tallied 33 points , six assists and five rebounds in the win in another fantastic performance . Charlotte also got a great performance from Al Jefferson , who contributed 29 points , five rebounds and three assists in the victory . This is a very talented team and the more they play together , the better they 'll be . The Hornets next matchup will be on Tuesday against the New York Knicks .
