HORNETS 95, KNICKS 93

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) _ Cody Zeller scored on a layup off an inbounds play with 0.6 seconds left for Charlotte and Kristaps Porzingis’ 3-pointer at the buzzer for New York was ruled too late.

Zeller had set a pick for Jeremy Lin under the Hornets basket, then alertly released to the hoop inside of Robin Lopez for the layup.

Porzingis then hit from 29 feet on the ensuing inbounds play, but officials huddled and ruled that he didn’t get the shot off in time after a video review.

Nicolas Batum led the Hornets with a season-high 24 points and Lin chipped in with 17 as Charlotte (4-4) reached .500 for the first time.

Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points, and Aaron Afflalo had 12 points in his regular-season debut for the Knicks, who had their two-game winning streak snapped.
