Charles Jenkins hit just 4-of-16 shots but still managed to finish with 10 points, five rebounds and 10 assists as the Warriors (barely) lost to the Hornets on Tuesday. The Warriors need to lose out in hopes of keeping their bottom-7 protected draft pick (traded to Utah), and a late goal tending call helped bail them out tonight. They currently sit in eighth place, and are likely headed toward a coin flip with the loser of the Raptors vs. Nets game on Thursday. In any case, as it appears that Nate Robinson's season is over, Jenkins should see plenty of minutes against the Spurs on Thursday. Luckily, the Warriors play San Antonio in the finale, or they might accidentally win one. Then again, Gregg Popovich might enjoy torturing them and tank even harder than the Warriors will.
