Round two of the Charlotte Hornets’ four-game homestand takes place tonight as they look to hold serve at Spectrum Center against the San Antonio Spurs starting at 7 PM EST.
The Hornets are coming off a hard-fought 93-85 home loss to the NBA-leading Bucks on Sunday afternoon, becoming the first team in the NBA to hold Milwaukee to less than 100 points this season. Charlotte sits fourth in defensive rating since Feb. 10 (104.3; 5-3 record), an extremely impressive mark for a squad that ranked 28th (113.7) prior to this recent eight-game stretch.
“Coming out of the All-Star break, we had a couple keys – both of them being on the defensive end,” said Borrego after Sunday’s game.
