ORLANDO – At some point tonight, the Charlotte Hornets will go into a set featuring Kemba Walker at the top of the offense with the ball in his hands and either a center or a power forward approaching to set a screen. Walker will rub off that pick and either find a shot for himself or someone else open because of the defensive attention he demands.
It’s a set that will likely give the Orlando Magic nightmares considering how often it has completely bedeviled them for years. How they defend that particular play – Charlotte’s most efficient all season, according to head coach Steve Clifford – will go a long way in determining Orlando’s chances of finally notching a win against the rival Hornets.
