It’s Friday, January 31, and the Los Angeles Clippers (27-20) and the Charlotte Hornets (12-32) are all set to square off from Spectrum Center in Charlotte.
The Clippers are locked in a battle with the Lakers for the top spot in the Pacific Division. LeBron and co. currently hold a slim ½ game lead in the race. The Clippers have won three of their last four overall. Point guard James Harden was named to the All-Star team earlier this week. Charlotte has lost their last two games. May not be a coincidence that LaMelo Ball sprained his ankle nine minutes into the first of those two games.
