Get used to Brad Wanamaker and Cody Martin in the fourth quarter. This Charlotte Hornets rotation is now a patchwork quilt.
That’s not because coach James Borrego is doing improv, though he is known for the occasional sudden shift in personnel. This is of necessity and it might last for weeks. Injuries have turned the Hornets upside-down.
“This is what our season has been about,” Borrego said after a 114-97 road victory over the Indiana Pacers. “We’re built for this.”
A slight edit: They’re conditioned to this. The Hornets lost star rookie LaMelo Ball seven games ago to a broken wrist.
