LeBron James came into Time Warner Cable Arena Wednesday night with a personal 21-game win streak against Charlotte, dating back to his days in Miami. That streak now sits in the past. Charlotte put together a magnificent team effort to down the Eastern Conference leading Cleveland Cavaliers, 106-97. The Hornets were coming off of two days rest, after going 2-2 on a Western Conference road trip, and beating the Lakers on Sunday.
There was good news and bad news for Hornets fans coming into Wednesday night’s matchup. The good news, Nic Batum, Jeremy Lamb, and Cody Zeller would all be returning to the lineup.
