Something Hornets Head Coach James Borrego likes to preach is playing a full four quarters. The Charlotte Hornets (30-36) did not do that Saturday evening against the Milwaukee Bucks.
They started out great, scoring 32 points in the first quarter, but then allowed the Bucks to score 30 or more in the last three quarters. Charlotte ultimately lost the game, allowing Milwaukee to score 131 points.
They’ll need to do a better job if they want to defeat a red hot Houston Rockets (41-25) team on the road. These two teams have already played each other once, back in Charlotte, with the Rockets winning by just five points.
