Hornets Take Care of Business on 3-Game Homestand
Charlotte began its post-All-Star Break schedule in ideal fashion by picking up a trifecta of home victories, including another late 122-116 win over the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. While it wasn’t the prettiest of performances, the Hornets still managed to pull out their fourth consecutive victory overall in clutch-time style once again, which moved the team into second place in the NBA in winning percentage during these situations (.722; 13-5). The league’s good-to-great teams find ways to persevere even on off nights and right now, the Hornets are continuing to do just that.

Hornets Get Good News on Hayward’s Hand Injury
Things rapidly went from bad to worse in the second half of the Hornets’ 132-110 road loss in Utah on Monday night when leading-scorer Gordon Hayward exited the game in the fourth quarter after falling and injuring his right hand. While it didn’t look too promising in the moment, Tuesday’s update confirmed just a contusion, leaving the veteran questionable for tonight’s game in Phoenix. Other Charlotte players will certainly have to step up if Hayward can’t go, but considering how it looked at the time, it appears that the Hornets dodged a bullet on their already precarious injury front.
