Not a lot of people thought the Charlotte Hornets (8-12) would fare well against the conference-leading Milwaukee Bucks. Being defeated by 41 points wasn’t something a lot of people thought would happen either, but that was exactly the outcome of the Hornets’ last game. Shooting 36% from the field while also allowing the other team to shoot nearly 60% is never going to win you games.
So, it’s time to return home, hoping to bounce back at the start of a five-game home-stand that should be fairly favorable for the guys in purple and teal. All five teams have losing records and most are at or near the bottom of their respective conferences.
