Hornets Fight for Play-In Spot, Suns Stand Strong

On April 2nd, Charlotte Hornets just climbed to eighth in the east after the magic and

heat dropped games last night, with only six games left in the regular season.

They're facing the suns tonight in Phoenix, battling to hold that spot for home court

edge in the play in tournament.

The suns look solid for seven, trailing Minnesota by four and a half games while leading

the clippers by three.

Charlotte's finish is brutal though.

After the suns, they hit the Pacers tomorrow on a back-to-back.

In Timberwolves, pistons, Celtics, and nicks, fans are buzzing about the playoff push, especially

with Brandon Miller dropping inspiring words for the squad.

Holding top eight means real momentum heading into the postseason chaos.

Injury News shakes things up, Hornets PJ Hall sits with ankle soreness fresh off his

g-league recall.

Suns miss a mere coffee on ankle, and Haywood Highsmith with knee trouble, while ex-Hornets

center Mark Williams is questionable with a foot issue.

William sits, also Iga Darrow handles most big minutes for Phoenix, and rookie calm on

Malooak backs him up.

Suns get a breather Friday and Saturday before the bulls, on Sunday.

Hornets got a grind through this stretch to stay alive.
