If you look at the standings, the result of today’s game should be easily to predict. One team has 11 fewer wins and is second from the bottom in the whole NBA, the other stands firmly in the playoffs picture. Yet the first team has showed multiple times that it is much better than its record. And the second is wearing down as the season winds down, due to more serious injuries. So the result is an open question.
Detroit Pistons fans, who are really enjoying the competitive way their rebuilding franchise is playing, wouldn’t mind more Hornets losses.
