The Charlotte Hornets have often appeared as if they're an up-and-coming team, ready to make waves on a consistent basis.
The Hornets will once again try to make good on their promise when they play host to the suddenly-confident Detroit Pistons on Wednesday at Charlotte, N.C.
Not only did the Pistons knock off the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night, the victory came on the road. Detroit has won back-to-back games for the first time this season.
"I think the confidence level of young players is something that you really can't put your finger on," Pistons coach Dwane Casey said.
