Scouting the Hornets
On Wednesday night in Charlotte, the Hornets got their second win in a row thanks to a 96-87 defeat of the Boston Celtics behind Al Jefferson's game-high 23 point outing to go along with his 14 rebounds in the effort for Charlotte. Tonight in Memphis, the Hornets will have their hands full as they look for some redemption against the one of the hottest teams in the Western Conference, the Memphis Grizzlies, after Memphis handed Charlotte it's first loss of the season back on November 1st at "The Hive", in the first half of a weekend back-to-back set starting tonight in Memphis, before Charlotte returns home tomorrow night to take on the Brooklyn Nets.
Scouting the Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies come into tonight's game with the second-best record in the Western Conference with a record of just 17-4, as Zach Randolph and his team have been improving with each game they play this season. The last time Memphis squared off against Charlotte was back on November 1st in Charlotte, when the Grizzlies would come away victorious thanks to Marc Gasol's go-ahead three-point play, to defeat the Hornets 71-69, and the Grizzlies are looking for the season sweep tonight, as they face off against Charlotte this time around inside FedExForum.
