CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Buckle up. These next two weeks could be a bit bumpy.
Less than 24 hours after a spirited win that lifted them up to eighth place and put destiny in their own hands, the Charlotte Hornets were back at it again Monday, this time matching up with one of the better teams in the Western Conference. Denver posed a different kind of challenge for the Hornets, relying more on its inside strength to impose its will.
That’s an area of weakness for the Hornets and their inability to contain the Nuggets on the interior paired with a cold-shooting fourth quarter doomed them in a 113-109 loss to at Spectrum Center.
