The Charlotte Hornets are back in town getting ready to begin another back-to-back set, starting later this afternoon with an early 5 PM EST tip-off against the visiting Utah Jazz.
Charlotte is coming off a tough 100-98 road loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, despite getting a career-high 35 points and seven threes from Terry Rozier. Although the Hornets nearly pulled off a miracle finish again after falling behind by 24 in the third quarter, the poor starts give the team very little margin for error, even when things do finally get going.
“First half [was] lethargic, I saw a very different team in the second half than I saw in the first half,” said Coach Borrego afterwards.
