Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 27 points, Terry Rozier added 25 and the Hornets snapped the Knicks’ nine-game winning streak with a 112-105 victory Tuesday night. Gordon Hayward had 23 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, and made the tiebreaking basket with 1:50 remaining as the Hornets won for the first time in four games since point guard LaMelo Ball’s broken ankle that required surgery. The Knicks, playing without starting point guard Jalen Brunson for a second straight game because of a sore left foot, scored 45 points in the second quarter but managed just 60 in the other three. Knicks: Thibodeau said Brunson wasn’t quite ready to play Tuesday but would travel with the team for their four-game West Coast trip that starts Thursday in Sacramento.. Immanuel Quickley, who scored a career-high 38 in place of Brunson on Sunday, started again but shot 5 for 16 and scored 14 points.
