Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 17 points on 7 of 13 shooting while hauling in 12 rebounds in his team’s 98-90 win over the Magic Saturday.
Kidd-Gilchrist delivered his second straight double-double Saturday after managing just two of them through the end of December. He was also able to match his season high in scoring, set in the regular-season opener, while kicking in three assists and one block in 36 minutes. He’ll square off with the Celtics Monday.
