CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Those handy navigation apps probably got utilized heavily by the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday considering the length of time they spent away from home.
A lengthy trip had them on the road for nearly two weeks, so no one could blame the Hornets if they needed a little electronic assistance to recall their respective routes to the Spectrum Center. This was also the kind of game that causes concerns given the quick turnaround following a winding excursion mostly dotting the Pacific Time zone.
“We only got one day back,” coach Steve Clifford said. “I thought our energy level surprised me this morning. It was good. Usually you get two days off and they have time to kind of get back to East Coast time, and we didn’t get that. So, these games can be funky for sure but every team plays them.”
