Game 15, at Charlotte: Spurs 119, Hornets 114 Rec: 12-3
1st in Southwest Division, 3rd in Western Conference Streak: W-7
I think we can all agree that was one weird basketball game the Spurs were fortunate enough to win Wednesday night. When I was doing my preseason previews, I expressed concern that the Hornets would really miss Jeremy Lin and Al Jefferson and struggle mightily to score. I figured Nicolas Batum would be satisfied after scoring a max contract, Kemba Walker’s scoring would increase but his efficiency would plummet, and they would have trouble getting consistent production from anyone else.
