Some fun facts for today's games. The Knicks have lost 24 of their last 25 games. Their lone win came against the Boston Celtics on December 12th. But hey Knicks fans, it's 2015 so you have a whole new year to look forward to!
The Hornets are currently ranked 14th in Defensive Rating after their horrible start to the season that had them ranked 24th in the NBA. Then there's this...
