The Hornets snapped a three-game skid with a big win in Brooklyn on Friday night and will look to keep things rolling with a home matinee against the Portland Trail Blazers starting today at 1 p.m. ET.
Portland took round one between the two sides, 127-96, back on Jan. 11, a game which was arguably one of Charlotte’s worst defensive efforts of the season. The Blazers shot 55.9 percent from the field and recorded an eye-popping 16 blocks in the contest, six of which came via Bosnian center Jusuf Nurkiu0107. Of note, Cody Zeller did not play in this game as he was still recovering from right hand surgery at the time.
