The Hornets improved significantly. In recent matches the wards of James Borrego are much more confident than before. They even managed to beat Atlanta (116:106) and Dallas (129:108). Recent successes have allowed Charlotte to gain a foothold in the ninth line of the Eastern Conference. Now it will be incredibly difficult to fly out of the top 10. After all, the advantage of the “hornets” over the 11th “Washington” is six wins. Given the way the Wizards operate, catching up with the Hornets won’t be easy.
The Lakers continue to suffer one defeat after another. In two weeks they won only two victories. Frank Vogel’s men managed to defeat Washington (122:109) and Toronto (128:123). In other matches the “lakes” were defeated. In the last match, for example, they allowed the Wizards to take revenge. The team from Los Angeles lost with a score of 119:127. Recent setbacks have sent the Lakers to 10th in the Eastern Conference. Even the Pelicans beat the Lakers. Wards of Vogel risk losing a place in the top 10.
