The Hornets have hit a rough patch over the two and a half weeks, losing their last five games and seven of their last nine overall. With that, the Hornets have fallen to 9th place in the Eastern Conference after spending a majority of the season inside of the top six in the conference. However, the Hornets do still remain above .500 and are still closer to 6th place in the conference than they are to the 11th spot.
The NBA acknowledged in their daily Last Two Minute Report that a last-second play was in fact a foul and an "Incorrect Non-Call" was made by the refs. The Hornets lost their third in a row adding to their streaky season. This week 2 struggling teams come to Charlotte as the Hornets look to start a win streak.
