The Hornets made it two defeats in a row when they lost 110-105 to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday morning, December 28.

 

“Everybody always says you don’t have to watch an NBA game until the fourth quarter and actually, if you’ve been around, it’s anything but that," Hornets head coach Steve Clifford said. 

 

"The fourth quarter – and this is factual – is never the most important quarter. Never. I’ve been doing this 20-plus years. First quarter, second quarter, third quarter … every year if you look at it, a lot of ways you can say it’s the first quarter. 

 

"Especially on the road. Right from the head it’s a big advantage.”
