CHARLOTTE, N.C. --Rookie Brandon Miller made seven 3-pointers and finished with 31 points, and the Charlotte Hornets beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 118-111 on Wednesday night to avenge a 23-point loss earlier in the week.
Miles Bridges and Tre Mann each added 17 points and Grant Williams had 16 for the Hornets, who shot 58% from the field to snap a five-game losing streak. Vasa Micic had 11 points and 12 assists, and Nick Richards added 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Jarrett Allen scored 24 points and Sam Merrill added 17 for the Cavs, who have lost four of their last five games. Allen became the first Cleveland player in four games to top 20 points.
The Cavaliers beat the Hornets 115-92 on Monday night in Cleveland after Marcus Morris Sr. was ejected after throwing a high elbow that flattened Richards.
The Hornets, who were beginning an eight-game homestand after playing 13 of 17 on the road, played inspired from the start.
During one stretch in the fourth quarter, Charlotte had four chances to score after two offensive rebounds by Williams kept the possession alive, eventually resulting in Miller finding an open lane down the middle and slamming home a one-handed dunk.
Darius Garland's pull-up 3 from the top of the key gave the Cavaliers a 107-105 lead with 6:47 left in the game and it appeared the Cavs might be on the verge of pulling away.
But the Hornets stayed close and regained the lead with two minutes remaining when Miller fed Miles Bridges for an alley-oop dunk in transition and then hit a one-handed floater.
The Cavaliers hurt themselves with mistakes in the final 1:04 with Allen missing two free throws and two turnovers, including Caris LeVert being whistled for traveling.
Cleveland didn't score in the final 3:28 of the game.
Miller, who was 7 for 13 from beyond the arc, put the Cavs away with a 3 with 25 seconds left.
WARRIORS 101, MAGIC 93
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Andrew Wiggins scored 23 points, Stephen Curry made the final two baskets of the game on an off shooting night and Golden State overcame Draymond Green's early ejection to beat Orlando.
Green, who missed 16 games after being suspended by the NBA in December, was ejected 3:36 in for disputing a foul call on Wiggins. It was Green's fourth ejection of the season.
Curry made a driving hook shot with 1:09 to go to make it 98-93 and added a 3-pointer with 34 seconds left for the final points. He had 17 points -- going 6 of 18 from the field -- and 10 assists.
Cole Anthony led Orlando with 26 points and eight rebounds. Paolo Banchero had 15 points and eight rebounds. Anthony's turnaround jumper brought the Magic within a point with 2:41 left.
The Warriors, holding the 10th spot in the Western Conference, won for the 20th time in 35 road games. They are 18-19 at home.
NETS 122, WIZARDS 119, OT
WASHINGTON -- Cam Thomas scored 38 points, including a pair of jumpers in overtime, and the Brooklyn Nets held off Washington 122-119 on Wednesday night, snapping the Wizards' modest three-game winning streak.
Jordan Poole scored a season-high 38 points for Washington, but he missed a 3-pointer that could have tied the game late in overtime. Dorian Finney-Smith had a chance to ice the game for Brooklyn with 4.3 seconds left, but he missed two free throws. The Wizards, however, were out of timeouts, and after securing the rebound, Washington's Deni Avdija lost control of the ball when he tried to dribble quickly up court.
The game began moments after Wizards owner Ted Leonsis spoke at a news conference touting the new agreement keeping his NBA team and the NHL's Capitals in the District of Columbia. A plan to move them to Virginia had fallen part.
That bit of news came at something of a high point for the Wizards, who needed until late January to produce their first two-game winning streak and didn't manage a longer one until now. The Nets, who probably won't make the playoffs, and the Wizards, who definitely won't, played an entertaining game that was tight after Washington rallied from a 10-point, second-quarter deficit.
Both teams had chances to win in regulation. With the score tied at 112, Avdija had his shot blocked by Nic Claxton. Brooklyn then came the other way without calling a timeout, and Dennis Schroder missed a last-second 3-pointer.
HAWKS 120, TRAIL BLAZERS 106
ATLANTA -- Dejounte Murray had 30 points and seven assists and the Atlanta Hawks won their third in a row and handed Portland its eighth straight loss, beating the Trail Blazers 120-106 on Wednesday night.
Garrison Mathews hit five 3-points and scored a season-high 21 points to help the Hawks remain 10th in the Eastern Conference and avenge a 106-102 loss in Portland on March 13. Matthews led the Atlanta backups to 41 points.
Bogdan Bogdanovic added 16 points and five assists, and Clint Capela had 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Dalano Banton led Portland with a career-high 31 points off the bench. Toumani Camara had 17 points, and Scoot Henderson added 15 points and six assists.
For the third straight game, the Trail Blazers started five rookies due to injuries throughout the roster, including Deandre Ayton, Jerami Grant, Matisse Thybulle, Malcom Brogdon and Angernee Simons.
The Blazers shot 45 percent from three (14-for-31), but committed 18 turnovers.
The Hawks were without multiple starters as well, with star Trae Young recovering from a finger injury and fellow starters Jalen Johnson and Saddiq Bey also out.
The Hawks had 10 first-half steals and hit seven of 11 three-pointes in the second quarter to take a 65-58 lead at the break.
An 11-0 burst from the Hawks early in the third quarter pushed the lead to 76-60. Murray and Bogdanovic combined for nine points during the run. The Hawks never let the lead get below nine points after that.
KNICKS 145, RAPTORS 101

Robinson came off the bench and scored eight points in 12 minutes.
Gradey Dick scored a career-high 23 points for Toronto and Gary Trent Jr. had 18 but the short-handed Raptors lost their 12th in a row and fell to 1-13 against Atlantic Division opponents.
