The Charlotte Hornets (24 - 33) defeated the Orlando Magic (19 - 42) 98 - 83 on Sunday. Charlotte has won two of their last three games as they've started to find a groove with interim starting point guard Mo Williams. He scored 23 points and dished out 11 assists in 38 minutes against the Magic to record his second double - double since joining the Hornets five games ago. Williams has played well, but the Hornets are looking forward to getting Kemba Walker back in the fold. Walker underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee on Jan. 28 and was given a 4 - 6 week timetable to return. He'll be evaluated Wednesday by the Hornets, and if all goes well, a more definitive return date could be revealed to get Walker back in the lineup. Big man Bismack Biyombo returned to action Sunday after being out with a knee injury since Jan. 24. Biyombo put up three rebounds and one block in 14 minutes off the bench. The Hornets are tied with the Brooklyn Nets for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East, but they also have the Pacers, Celtics and Pistons within two games of them, fighting for the final playoff spot. Orlando is seven games behind the Hornet and Nets, putting them all - but out of the playoff conversation this late in the season. They've lost three straight, and while the team has played great defense recently, holding nine straight opponents to under 100 points scored, their struggles on offense have kept them out of the win column most nights. Victor Oladipo was the lone bright spot in the starting lineup Sunday, scoring a team - high 21 points and five assists in 38 minutes. The Magic won the first two games of their season series with the Hornets, but Charlotte tied everything up with Sunday's win to close up the season series in a 2 - 2 tie. Charlotte will return home to host the Lakers on Tuesday, and Orlando will host the Suns on Wednesday.
