The second leg of a four-game road trip and the first leg of a back-to-back set takes place tonight for the Charlotte Hornets when they face the Phoenix Suns starting at 8 PM EST.
The team’s journey out west began with a 109-92 loss to the Utah Jazz on Friday night, although Terry Rozier (23 points) notched his career-long-extending fifth straight 20-point game. Going up against the hottest team in the NBA, seven first-quarter giveaways leading to 14 Utah points and a 16-point deficit after the opening 12 minutes all but doomed the Hornets from the start.
“That kind of spiraled us and they weren’t even forced turnovers,” said Head Coach James Borrego following the loss.
