UNDATED (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets have fired coach James Borrego after blowout losses in back-to-back years in the play-in tournament.
Borrego was 138-163 in four seasons as the Hornets coach. Charlotte finished 43-39 this season and improved their win total by 10 in each of the past two seasons but haven’t made the playoffs since the 2015-16 season.
