Everything was all decked out for a Saturday night party.
The Charlotte Hornets were coming off that drubbing of Detroit. The classic court that conjures up memories from the franchise’s days at Charlotte Coliseum over on Tyvola Rd was down on the arena floor. Even with temperatures hovering around 70 degrees outside for most of the day, Spectrum Center was packed up to the rafters, creating a nice atmosphere for South Carolina native Ja Morant’s lone visit of the season. The new guy, Montrezl Harrell, received a couple of nice ovations in his official welcome to town.
