The Charlotte Hornets have long been a franchise that wanders in the wilderness and is only desperate for a look at the promised country. They have not won since Tim Duncans Rookie Year, the 1997-1998 season, in the state of North Carolina, since Tim Duncan, and have only had four times over 500 since the return of a franchise company in 2004. returned the state. After Michael Jordan has sold his majority stake in the club, there is not much to say about the squad outside of Lamelo Ball. Ball, a volume scorer with green light in a bad team, has dealt with injuries in the last two seasons and is injured again , a ankle problem that has kept him away since January 27th.

With ball on the square, this would have been a classic trap game scenario for the Spurs because he is the type of player who can get out of the blue. With him and the addition of De’aaron Fox to the squad, it would be a catastrophe for San Antonio. February is easy for hard games for the Spurs and if you want to make a push for a place in the game, you cannot afford to drop games like this evening. There was once a time when this franchise was known for the fact that it was able to take care of the business, against fighting ball clubs. With the addition of FOX to the squad, there is the possibility that the old standard can return.

What you should pay attention to

• The trio of Fox, Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell combined 126 points for the victory in Atlanta for 64 by San Antonios. While the entire team will benefit from what FOX brings on the table, nobody can benefit more than Vassell, who sometimes has to deal with a consistent #2 option for San Antonio this season. Fox can attack the color in a way that no one can really do on the squad, which has the advantage of bending a defense and creating openings for yourself and others. Vassell, who was much less commissioned by the creation side of things, could really thrive next to Fox.
• Stephon Castle did not fill the status sheet against Atlanta, but he looked more comfortable when he was at any other point this season. Castle, a candidate for Rookie of the Year, started 29 of San Antonio in 48 games this season and has shown more than a few florors of his potential, but has to struggle to listen to the bank. He only played for 20 minutes against Atlanta, but he was able to stay aggressive and did the best of his time, came to the free -wire line several times and resigned a malignant dark, which was a further teaser before his participation in the tabe this season. Tre Jones Gone Castle is the only backup point Guard and against Atlanta when he understood.
• Fox played 37 minutes in his debut against the Hawks, according to what he played in Sacramento this season than any other player on the squad. If this continues now after he is in San Antonio, he would lead the Spurs in MPG by about 4 minutes (Victors 33 MPG is the first among the players who were there all season).
