The Charlotte Hornets have always done a good job of generating buzz. This past year, the team and the NBA Development League decided to award the city of Greensboro with its own affiliate team: the Greensboro Swarm.
The Hornets also scheduled a preseason matchup with the Boston Celtics, which will also be played in Greensboro. The game will give the fans a glimpse of the new players and the rookies who may be suiting up for either the Hornets or the Swarm in a few weeks.
But, before Thursday’s tilt with Boston, the Hornets had to battle the Dallas Mavericks e in the American Airlines Center.
