## Resource

Charlotte Hornets’ Summer League title hopes hang in the balance after a close loss to the Pelicans, and they need a win against Charles Lee’s former team, the Boston Celtics, to even reach the semifinals. The Celtics, winners of their opener, are led by Hugo Gonzalez despite a shaky shooting night, while Hornets rookie Chris Cenac dazzled with 14 points and 4 blocks. Hornets’ recent game exposed sloppy play and poor ball security, which they must fix to make their defense and rebounding count. Despite potential rest for key players like Ryan Kalkbrenner and Tidjane Salaun, the Hornets seem committed to playing through the pain, building that winning mentality from last year’s run. This game is crucial — they’ve got one shot to keep their championship dreams alive. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
