The Hornets are hosting Lodi, and Coach Brian Poles feels his team's defense has been

a shining star in the last few weeks.

I think we're getting a little bit more used to some of our bigs playing perimeter because

the matchups we've had to play some of our big guys on some perimeter players.

And that's, as a perimeter player, you've got somebody with a longer reach and you're

looking to take that three-point shot.

You've got to be aware of how close they are and being able to get that shot off.

So all those factors play into just a lot of our overall improvements so far this year.
