CHARLOTTE – Two things stick out about the last time the Nuggets faced Charlotte, which was on March 4 at the Pepsi Center. And we’re talking beyond just the Nuggets’ 112-102 loss itself.
First, was the Hornets’ 3-point shooting. They hit 16 shots from beyond the arc, making 59 percent of them that day.
Second, was Charlotte selling out to pack the paint, taking away cutters and clogging up any players who dared pass or drive to the rim. That directly impacted Gary Harris, who took only one shot in the game and didn’t score.
