Spurs vs Hornets

LaMelo Ball takes center stage for the Charlotte Hornets, looking to exploit a San Antonio Spurs defense that has struggled to contain perimeter scorers, especially with their starting small forward sidelined by a sprained wrist. Historically, these two squads have produced high-scoring games, with the Spurs’ backcourt pushing the tempo and the Hornets’ offense often relying on transition buckets. Both teams have cleared the 41-game mark, so every contest holds weight in the playoff race, making pace of play and late-game fouling likely to boost the scoreboard.
