Can we trust the Hornets? Gritty wins in the last two by identical 105-102 scorelines vs. the Nets and Heat, at least suggest Charlotte isn't throwing in the towel, also reflected by a preceding 1-point loss to the mighty Cavs. Monday's win over Miami was a showcase for Miles Bridges, who scored 35, while Mark Williams, who hasn't missed any time since that failed physical rescinded his trade to the Lakers last month, scored 24 and hauled down 10 rebounds. Atlanta certainly has the potency edge but note the difficulties it had with Charlotte earlier this season, close 125-120 and 107-104 decisions in which the Hawks covered neither. Watch Trae Young's status after he missed (quad) Monday's win over the Sixers. Play Hornets.
