The Charlotte Hornets have dropped three straight outings and will hope to get back on track in a big way with a key season-series-deciding matchup against the Brooklyn Nets starting tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET.
This will be the final game of the campaign between the two sides, with the Nets currently leading things, 2-1. Brooklyn squandered a 19-point second-half lead to the Hornets last Friday in Charlotte only to rally from eight down with three minutes to go to escape Spectrum Center with a victory. The sixth-seeded Nets are 4-7 over their last 11 outings and through Wednesday, sit 3.
