The New York Knicks are an opponent to beat. All the more so because the Knicks don’t play well outside of their own city. In addition, the Hornets have played well in recent games. It’s very likely that this time Clifford’s team will win the game.
The defense is not the strongest link of the teams. Both Charlotte and New York concede quite a lot. It’s very likely that the encounter will be a blowout.
Charlotte’s infirmary is slowly emptying.
The club is currently on a losing streak. In a row, it’s now three. The Charlotte Hornets lost to the Milwaukee Bucks (96-105), Los Angeles Clippers (117-119) and Brooklyn Nets (116-122).
The Hornets are 13th in the Eastern Conference with seven wins and 18 losses.
The last time the Charlotte Hornets won was in early December, when they defeated the Washington Wizards (117-116) on their home court. Since then, the Hornets have suffered three setbacks. It’s time for Sam Clifford’s men to turn things around.
The Hornets are averaging 109.6 points per game this season.
The New York Knicks are in a better position. The club is in ninth place in their conference. In 25 games, the team has 12 wins, losing 13 times.
