Charlotte has been inconsistent in its results but remains in contention for a spot in the Eastern Conference top ten. The team recently suffered two losses in a row, losing to Philadelphia in overtime (105:107) and Orlando (89:114).
Despite this, in the last match, the Hornets managed to beat Milwaukee (115:114), which gave the team confidence.

The team has many problems, but the Hornets are showing character and are able to impose a fight on the favorite.
