For the second time this season, the Charlotte Hornets (16-17) will face a team twice in consecutive games. The first time was against the Chicago Bulls; a series they split. They’re hoping for that same result as they face off against the Brooklyn Nets (17-19) for the second time in three days.
The result of that last game left quite the bitter taste in Hornets’ fans mouths, as they lost that game in a double-overtime debacle that really never should have happened. Several times, the Hornets had a victory in their grasp only to let defensive lapses or costly fouls transpire, sealing their second straight loss.
