In the best-of-seven series of the second round of the playoffs, the Hornets are tied with the Spurs 3-3 and must win Game 7 on Monday to move into the Conference Finals. Monday’s tip-off is TBD.
“This is just another example of the entire city of New Orleans uniting to cheer for our hometown team,” said Hornets Owner George Shinn. “We are thrilled that this community has fallen in love with our team, and the enthusiasm and excitement only pushes our guys to play harder and win.”
