Meanwhile, the Spanish pvot Willy Hernangmez scored 10 points in another defeat of the Charlotte Hornets, this time by 114-90 in his visit to San Antonio Spurs who still fight to get into the playoffs. Hernangmez completed his statistics with two rebounds, two assists and a steal of ball in the 18:02 minutes he was on the AT&T Center park, where the 25 points of his partner Miles Bridges did not prevent a new stumbling block of the Hornets.

Thus, the Charlotte franchise occupies the twelfth place in the Eastern Conference, with a balance of 16-33. For his part, DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points and was the top scorer of the Spurs, whose irregularity makes them go tenth in the Western Conference (22-26).
