CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Kemba Walker didnt mind a bit kicking back and watching the Charlotte reserves play the entire fourth quarter of a blowout win over the Orlando Magic.Especially with an important road game at Cleveland coming up on Saturday night.Its always nice to get a little bit of a break, Walker said. (The starters) played well so we were deserving of it, I thought.Nic Batum and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist each had 16 points, and the Hornets routed the Magic 109-88 on Friday night for their third straight victory. Walker had 15 points in 25 minutes, and the Southeast Division leaders held the Magic to 37 percent shooting while outrebounding them 59-40.Charlottes starters didnt even play in the fourth after the Hornets opened a 21-point lead with a late third-quarter surge.The Hornets (14-9) have won six of eight, but now head out on a five-game road trip beginning in Cleveland.Its good momentum, obviously, coach Steve Clifford said. Whenever you are going to go on an extended trip, its good to win the last home game before you leave. You want to build as much of a cushion as you can.Batum, who has 39 rebounds in his last four games, missed out on a chance at a triple-double because he didnt play in the fourth quarter with the game out of hand. He finished with nine rebounds and seven assists.This could easily have been a classic trap game for Charlotte, but the Hornets took all the drama out of it with a dominant third quarter.They opened a 52-46 lead at halftime behind a late second-quarter push led by Kidd-Gilchrist, who had 14 points at the break on 6-of-8 shooting. Charlotte extended the margin to 21 late in the third period as Walker began to heat up, beating defenders off the dribble with his quickness and knocking down jumpers.Just a lot of breakdowns in the third quarter in particular, on the defensive end with our transition defense, offensive rebounds, Magic coach Frank Vogel said. This is not a great offensive rebounding team, but they burned us tonight and they hit 3s every time they got one, so we didnt match back up. We just had more breakdowns across the board.Evan Fournier had 14 points for the Magic.TIP-INSMagic: Fournier was assessed a technical foul in the first half for arguing a call. ... Nikola Vucevic played despite a right corneal abrasion and had seven points in 22 minutes. ... Orlando went 9 of 34 on 3-point attempts.Hornets: Have beaten the Magic four consecutive times. ... Walker has reached double digits in every game this season. ... Batums streak of double-doubles ended at three games.OFFENSIVE WOESThe Magic have struggled recently on the offensive end.We have a very slim margin for error, Vogel said. We have to get guys to play more the right way, more often.BALL MOVEMENTThe Hornets moved the ball extremely well on offense against a Magic team that looked a step slow.We are a very unselfish team, Batum said. Were going to move the ball and involve everybody. The guys off the bench did a great job to finish the game, they tried to move the ball, play as a team and we did a good job of that.CAVS COMING UPWalker said hes eager to face the Cavaliers, who will also be playing on the tail end of a back-to-back.Its going to be tough playing against the defending champs, of course, in their building, Walker said. We lost there already, but we want to go out and play as hard as possible, same thing as tonight. Play some great defense, offensively make some shots and just play a good game.UP NEXTMagic: Orlando returns home to host the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.Hornets: Charlotte travels to Cleveland on Saturday night.

The move comes after the Canadiens were approached by the Buffalo Sabres for permission to speak to Dudley - a former Sabres player and head coach. "The Sabres called for permission and I appreciate that, Im flattered, Dudley told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Marcus Mariota certainly is looking forward to a chance to play the Miami Dolphins for a second straight season.As is the Tennessee Titans offensive line.A year ago, the Dolphins sacked Mariota five times and finished with six in routing Tennessee 38-10 last year in Nashville.They also intercepted the rookie quarterback twice and forced him into two fumbles with Cameron Wake responsible for much of it with four sacks and both forced fumbles by halftime.Luckily for Mariota, Olivier Vernon now plays for the New York Giants after being flagged twice for unnecessary roughness. One of those hits sprained Mariotas left medial collateral ligament, costing the quarterback the next two games.Unfortunately last year there were some things that occurred during the game that we werent able to control and kind of affected the outcome of the game, Mariota said Wednesday. Thats part of it, just looking forward to getting back out there again.Mariota can go into Sundays game feeling a bit more secure in his pass protection, having been sacked only seven times -- a number cut in half from the 14 allowed through the first four games of his rookie season. Tennessee wound up allowing a league-worst 54 sacks in 2015.Now the Titans (1-3) rank 10th in the NFL allowing a sack on 5.15 percent of pass plays.Were blocking better, the schemes were doing some things differently scheme-wise to help with the protection and hopefully it continues, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. Thats the plan.New general manager Jon Robinson signed center Ben Jones away from Houston before trading down from the No. 1 overall pick back to eighth to select Jack Conklin from Michigan State in just the latest attempt by this franchise to improve the offensive line. Both have started every game thhis season.ddddddddddddRight guard Chance Warmack was placed on injured reserve Sept. 22 needing surgery on a torn tendon in his right hand, and Josh Kline, a waiver wire pickup from New England has started the past two games. Mularkey also hired Hall of Fame lineman Russ Grimm as his offensive line coach.Mularkey said left tackle Taylor Lewan has played well all season along with left guard Quinton Spain getting some much-needed experience in his second season.The Titans passed one test in last weeks 27-20 loss at Houston, allowing only one sack after giving up seven to the Texans last season.Lewan couldnt put his finger on exactly what is working better, though he also credited getting help from running backs and tight ends to block pass rushers. Lewan is looking forward to playing the Dolphins (1-3) again.Its a huge opportunity, Lewan said. Like Ive said, you want to be the best, play against the best. Those guys are definitely a great front line. Front sevens all unbelievable.Wake didnt exactly return the compliment when asked about what he sees in the Titans offensive line, joking he doesnt like offensive linemen.I think theyre like O-linemen, Wake said. Theyre big, theyre slow and theyre ugly, just like most of the ones we have here. Us fast pretty guys like to take advantage of them.Game notesConklin and TE Jace Amaro were limited in practice Wednesday with a sore shoulder.
