The Charlotte Hornets will attempt to rebound from one of their most disappointing losses of the season Saturday night when they host the NBA's losingest team, the Phoenix Suns.
Needing every victory possible in a seriously uphill climb in the Eastern Conference playoff race, the Hornets let a winnable game slip away Thursday in a 125-111 home loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
The loss was Charlotte's fifth in a row after a five-game winning streak that temporarily had the Hornets within arm's length of the final playoff spot in the East.
