Things were looking pretty bad for the Charlotte Hornets (29-33) just a few days ago. Losers of their last three at home, fans were beginning to lose hope that the team would even make the playoffs.
After a tough road win over the Brooklyn Nets, however, there is a bit of renewed optimism in the Queen City… for now.
I say for now because their next match-up is quite the doozy. They return home to take on a Portland Trail Blazers (38-24) that has beaten the Hornets four straight times and seven out of their last nine.
