Here we go, folks.
The Hornets will host the Spurs tonight for a pivotal Game 5. Win, and we have two shots to take the series. Lose, and there's a good chance there will be no more games at the Arena this season. So make no mistake: this one is big.
Stuff to know…
Game Time: 8:30pm Central.
TV: TNT nationwide.
Radio: KMEZ 102.9 FM in New Orleans and the super-fantastic WIBR 1300-AM in Baton Rouge.

Okay, Hornets, let's feed off the crowd energy and get back in control of this series. We've come a long way in six months but there's no reason to stop now. Bring your A-game, Tyson. Step it up, Bonzi. Shake loose, Peja. You've all got a city to electrify and a dynasty to demolish. Tonight's the night.
Buckle up, everyone.
[UPDATE] The Hornets enjoy that home cookin' again, cruise to a 101-79 victory.
