Perley’s Press Pass: Hornets’ Defense ‘Turning the Corner,’ says Borrego

Ever since suffering one of their worst losses of the season almost two weeks ago – a 119-80 defeat in Indiana on Feb. 25 – the Charlotte Hornets have turned things around a bit and put together a rather impressive stretch of basketball. While the team’s record might just be 3-3 since this particular outing, that mark doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story.

During this stretch, the Hornets sit seventh in the NBA in defensive rating (107.4) and 11th in net rating (1.8), rankings that stood at 26th (113.1) and 28th (-8.2), respectively, through the opening 57 outings.
