ATLANTA (AP) — Terry Rozier hit three throws with 1.1 seconds remaining, and the undermanned Charlotte Hornets overcame a 19-point third-quarter deficit to end the Atlanta Hawks’ five-game winning streak with a 122-118 victory. Clint Capela tipped in a putback of Trae Young’s missed runner with 5.4 seconds to go for Atlanta, but Rozier, who scored 16 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter, drew a foul from Jalen Johnson and buried the ensuing free throws to win it. The Hawks lost when Young, trying to inbound the ball from the right sideline, couldn’t find an open teammate with Mason Plumlee making it tough to put the ball in play. His turnover ended it.
