The Denver Nuggets and Charlotte Hornets only play each other twice a year, but each game presents a special opportunity for the Hernangomez brothers to catch up. With Juancho and Guillermo (Willy) on teams in separate parts of the country, the grind of the NBA regular season doesn’t provide many opportunities to connect in person.
On Wednesday, the Hernangomez brothers were able to catch up pregame and both shared the court for several minutes during Denver’s 100-86 win against the Hornets. Early in the second quarter, Juancho drove down the lane and rose up for a dunk attempt, only to be met at the rim by none other than his older brother (Juancho missed the dunk).
