Spurs vs Hornets preview
The Spurs are about to embark on a road trip that will include games against the Jazz, Kings, Clippers, and Lakers, with the Clippers game being the second of a back-to-back. This game will be a significant concern if they don’t have a sense of urgency. Despite still being well below .500, San Antonio has been playing better basketball than Charlotte as of late behind the inspirational effort of Derrick White. On losses, however, they have been burned by allowing opponents to get hot from the outside.
The Hornets enter San Antonio second in the league in 3-point percentage (38.3%), and they shoot the 10th-most 3-pointers in the league. They have six different players who each shoot better than 38 percent on at least two shots every game. Charlotte also has the poorest defensive rating in the league, allowing teams to feast inside, something the Spurs excel at.
Spurs vs Hornets Head to Head record
The Spurs and Charlotte Hornets have played 62 games in the regular season, with the Spurs winning 44 and the Hornets winning 18. Spurs have won three of their last five meetings with the Hornets.
