Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer notes that Saturday’s blowout loss in Atlanta was particularly concerning for Hornets head coach Steve Clifford.
Despite experiencing numerous losses since his return to the sidelines last season, Clifford was especially disappointed by his team’s lack of competitiveness in this game.
Charlotte’s defeat marked their fourth consecutive loss amid a challenging 17-53 season. Clifford expressed frustration that his players failed to mount a comeback after falling behind early in the game.
