The Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets are experiencing their share of difficulties this season.

The Hornets are coming off two straight home wins and are attempting to win a third in a row Monday night when they face the Nets, who are 0-9 at home, in New York.

Charlotte snapped a seven-game skid by earning a 123-116 win over the Chicago Bulls on Friday, then followed it up with a 118-111 overtime win over the Toronto Raptors on Saturday. Charlotte fell behind by 13 less than three minutes into the contest and trailed by 17 with 4:49 left in the first quarter before gradually rallying.

After cutting their deficit to six by halftime, the Hornets overcame a 12-point gap in the final 5:57 of the fourth. Rookie Kon Knueppel hit a tying 3-pointer with 10.1 seconds left in regulation.
