The Charlotte Hornets, as has been the case for much of their recent history, are having just as forgettable a season this year as the Spurs are. At 16-43, they will be right there with the Spurs in the draft lottery this June and until a 144-138 win Monday night over the Atlanta Hawks, were mired in an 8-game losing streak that was 2nd only to the 13-game slump Gregg Popovich and his young squad have been in. Now rather than being an opportunity for both of these teams to snap a streak, the Spurs will be facing a team who have finally gotten the taste of losing out of their mouth, if only for the moment.
