The Hornets were up big early on in this one, reaching a 23 point lead in the first half, while eventually going into halftime up 13. Charlotte just could n't hold on to the lead though, and ended up losing a close one on the road in Portland. The Hornets were led by a double - double from Lance Stephenson with 14 points (5 - 10 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT) and 14 rebounds. Charlotte had a well - balanced attack offensively, with eight total players scoring, and each of them scoring at least seven points.

The Hornets continue their tough road stretch against the Phoenix Suns on Friday night. The Trail Blazers came storming back in this one, and did so in impressive fashion. Portland was led by their dynamic duo of Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge, but got solid production from multiple players on Tuesday night. Lillard scored 29 points (12 - 21 FG, 5 - 8 3Pt), with seven assists, four rebounds and two steals, while Aldridge scored 25 points (10 - 21 FG, 5 - 5 FT), with 14 rebounds and three assists.
