From what could have been one of the most dismal points of the season, the Charlotte Hornets should have no shortage of confidence this week.
The Hornets go into Monday night's home game against the Philadelphia 76ers coming off an unlikely result.
"The group is locked in," Hornets coach James Borrego said. "The mentality was right, and I saw it from the tip."
Down four players because of COVID protocols, the Hornets pulled out Sunday night's 130-127 road victory against the Atlanta Hawks.
Charlotte won despite the absences of LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, Mason Plumlee and Jalen McDaniels.
