The sense of urgency is apparent for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Charlotte Hornets would like to catch some of that as well.
The two teams that have sputtered in recent games meet Friday night in Charlotte, N.C.
"Any game is a must-win for us," Cavaliers guard Darius Garland said.
CoachJ.B. Bickerstaff is expected to be back with the Cavaliers (21-37) after a one-game absence for personal reasons. Assistant coach Greg Buckner has filled in for him.
The Cavaliers keep hoping that they're ready to turn the corner. They've tried numerous tonics, but they've won only twice in their last seven games after rolling past the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night.
