After blowing a fourth quarter lead on Friday night, the Charlotte Hornets have a chance to redeem themselves less than 48 hours later.
Knueppel registered 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 44 minutes during Sunday's 119-111 overtime win over the Cavaliers.
Some wins look good in the standings, and then there are wins that build the character of a franchise. For the Charlotte Hornets, Sunday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse was emphatically the latter.
Another game where the NBA’s 25th-ranked defense gave up 120+points — another season staring the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings in the face. But unlike most years, there’s been some hope.
Things are picking up for the Bulls in terms of healthy bodies, however they will be without a few notable players on Friday.
