It was a brutal night of basketball for the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night, where the team lost by 31 points to the Portland Trail Blazers. James Borrego could not have been happy with the production from anyone, including Nicolas Batum.
Batum had eight points and five rebounds in 23 minutes of action vs Portland. During his pregame interview, Borrego said he would like to see Batum be more aggressive on the offensive end, but he did not get his wish in this loss.
“I think he’s competing.” Borrego said of Batum.
