Both the New York Knicks and Charlotte Hornets may be without multiple key players in Wednesday night's matchup.

Non-competitive defense and poor process on offense led to Charlotte getting ran out of the gym in the second period. The Hornets' best offense in the second quarter involved Tre Mann bailing his teammates out at the end of the shot clock, but you can't build the entire plane out of that.

But as new coach Mike Brown pushed for a fast-paced system, Yabusele is struggling in a reduced role. He was averaging just 2.7 points in 10.5 minutes heading into Wednesday’s game against the Hornets, shooting a paltry 34.9 percent overall and 27.6 percent on treys.
