The Spanish pivot Willy Hernangómez has returned to the activity with an almost perfect performance, since he has scored 14 points with a 7/8 in field shots, but Charlotte Hornets have fallen in their visit to Portland Trail Blazers (115-112).

The oldest of the Hernangómez, who is having very few opportunities this season, showed his good basketball again every time he has the confidence of his coach and left almost ready for a minute in the 16 he was on the court.

His good individual sensations contrasted with the collective ones, since the Hornets conceded their fifth consecutive victory, but still remain ninths of the Eastern Conference of the NBA to three victories of the zone of 'playoffs'.

Devonte Graham (27 points and 10 rebounds) and Terry Rozier (25) were Charlotte's best at the Moda Center, where they came to have a triple on the horn to tie that did not even touch the hoop. As for the locals, Damian Lillard (30) and CJ McCollum (27) fulfilled their usual leadership role to seal the victory.
