Orlando, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Mo Williams had 23 points while dishing out 11 assists Sunday as the Charlotte Hornets beat the Orlando Magic 98-83.

All five Hornets starters reached double figures in points, with Al Jefferson, Gerald Henderson and Cody Zeller each scoring 16.

"When you play great defense, sometimes teams do score, but if you play it consistently for 48 minutes, you're going to get stops," Jefferson said.

Victor Oladipo led Orlando with 21 points. Tobias Harris added 13 points and nine rebounds in the Magic's third straight loss.

"Tough game overall," said Oladipo. "We just have to move on to the next one."

The Magic trailed by only one at halftime, but fell behind by 15 in the third quarter because of poor shooting. They went 6-of-19 from the floor (31.6 percent) in the game's penultimate 12-minute segment.
