That’s what makes performances like the one the Hornets turned in Thursday night against the New York Knicks noteworthy. All they can do is play spoiler, making life miserable for opponents who assume the Eastern Conference’s second-worst team (record-wise) has packed it in and is merely going through the proverbial motions while awaiting the season’s conclusion. “It just gives us confidence,” Miles Bridges told The Observer after the Hornets’ thorough 115-98 victory over the Knicks. “It gives us confidence knowing we can play how we want to when we are semi-healthy. Just imagine when we are fully healthy. “As long as we keep building good habits, building winning habits, I think we’ll be good for next year.”
