Friday night was not a good game for the Hornets, who may be beginning to show some vulnerabilities.
Despite what the final score may say, Friday's loss to the Detroit Pistons was an ugly one for the Hornets. An insane 23-1 run in the fourth quarter made the score look more respectable than it was and deserved to be, because Charlotte just did not look good. Their defense was lackadaisical at best, and the team was doomed by yet another slow start — a worrying trend for a team approaching a likely postseason berth.
