INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets broke the franchise’s single-game scoring record on Wednesday night and notched the highest point total in the NBA this season in their 158-126 rout of the Indiana Pacers.

Four players had 20 or more points, and the Hornets matched a season-best by making 24 3s. Indiana was led by Goga Bitdaze and rookie Isaiah Jackson, who both scored 17 points.
