Portland Head Coach Demands For Contract Termination Due to….

On Sunday night, the Charlotte Hornets will try to snap their 15-game losing skid on the road against the Trail Blazers, hoping to finally put an end to their long-standing problems in Portland. The Hornets, who last triumphed in Portland on March 29, 2008, when the Charlotte team was known as the Bobcats, always face difficult challenges when they travel to the Rose City. During the lengthy fall, there have been three losses of at least thirty points, capped by a horrifying 112-68 setback on February 1, 2012.

The Hornets led by six points at the intermission of their season-long trip to Portland, but they lost 124-113 after being outscored 63-46 in the second half. Two nights after falling short against the home team, the Golden State Warriors, 97-84, on Friday, Charlotte will try again. The Hornets’ four-game winning streak ended with the loss. During the contest, Charlotte shot 36.4 percent from the field after scoring just 29 points in the first half of the game.

“We’re not playing with the same intensity and purpose on offense, and we’re not playing as selflessly as we have,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford stated, listing the team’s problems. “Golden State’s defense was excellent as well. That played a significant role in it.The NBA is this. It is inevitable to occur. We were off for a week. We have two games in a span of two days. It will occasionally occur. It’s only a component of the league. The only player from Charlotte to score more than 11 points was Miles Bridges, who finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds. In thirty minutes, rookie sensation Brandon Miller scored eleven points on four of fourteen shots.
